Exactly. the fact that this is suddenly being trotted out now leads me to wonder, "Who wants me to think about this now? Why? What are they trying to convince me to go along with?"

I am certainly not going to take this at face value. The NYP has a record of making up stuff. E.g.:

After the Marathon Bombing, "The Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid claimed that 12 people were killed by explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, and that a suspect -- a Saudi Arabian male -- was being questioned at a Boston hospital." [1]

After the marathon bombing, they were "slapped with a defamtion lawsuit" for claiming it was the two "Bag Men." [2]

Well there WAS a Saudi guy being questioned.

Thats SoP for the Feds/police after a major event.

Round up the usual suspects and grill them down.
