Intelligence Officials Continue To Question Plot Claim

HeadlineFeb 10, 2006

President Bush’s comments add new details to the purported attack, which the White House first discussed last fall. The claim was met with skepticism from several members of the intelligence community. At the time, one official told the Washington Post: “It’s safe to say that most of the [intelligence] community doesn’t think it’s worth very much.” Today, the Post reports there remains “deep disagreement” over whether the plot was “ever much more than talk.” A US counterterrorism official interviewed by Los Angeles Times dismissed the plot, telling the newspaper: “It didn’t go. It didn’t happen.”
