"The United States warned India before last week`s brutal attacks in Mumbai that terrorists appeared to be plotting a mostly waterborne assault on its financial capital, a senior Bush administration official said Tuesday"

An `unnamed source` without a shred of evidence to back it up.

"The official would not elaborate on the timing or details of the U.S. warning to Indian counterparts."

He hadn`t made that part up yet.

"The official confirmed, though, that Washington passed on information it had about a possible attacks, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of intelligence information. "

"Sensitive"? The Indian press is thick with articles about prior warnings by everyone who wants some attention.

Considering that the story contains no information not published days ago, and the totally unreliable source, a government which made lying about intel an art form, why is this story even published?
