It's not terribly confidence-inducing that the NYPD is apparently using DEBKA as an intelligence source.

What's next, WorldNetDaily? 

I actually was very impressed with the NYPD's intelligence operations after reading this 2005 article in the New Yorker.  Hopefully they haven't abandoned real proactive intel in favor of credulously listening to Internet kooks.

(See, real proactive intel and threat identification are what help with security, not scandalously ineffective (and questionably legal) wastes of time and manpower like subway searches and mass arrests of protesters.)
