OOPS! I’m not really sure how much to blame the FBI for this one. Better safe than sorry, I guess, but if this happens too often the real warnings won’t get listened to.

I seem to recall bloggers having doubts about this story from day one. Kathy Kinsley wrote, not exactly presciently but certainly skeptically, “It will probably turn out that these guys wanted to go gamble in Las Vegas or something.” Weren’t some other people skeptical of this one, too?

UPDATE: Suman Palit was skeptical, though not sympathetic. . . .
