DEBKA.COM caused a DIRTY-BOMB SCARE in NEW YORK!

Oh, we can see it now: SAM LITTLE at WORLD SECURITY HEADQUARTERS in his den or wherever, busy juggling twelve phones, typing into six computers, speaking with every known SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGER on the planet, screaming, "Yes! YES! A DIRTY BOMB's been CONFIRMED in NEW YORK!!! DEBKA's on the case. I'm in CONSTANT CONTACT with them. Yes yes, ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE CONFIRMS THERE'S A DIRTY BOMB IN NEW YORK!!!!!" And SAM promptly translates all this screaming onto his blog. "DIRTY BOMB IN NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!" And of COURSE it proves to be false, because it's DEBKA, and SAM issues a non-apology in two-point font, and New York's finest MUST ask themselves, "Why did we pay so much attention to these cranks on the Web?"

Of course we're only guessing about SAM; we will NEVER AGAIN click on to his site, and especially not today.
