Yeah, yeah. Our last line of defense in channeling cosmopolitan agita to its plausibly blamable source, the New York Times, says that Bloomberg did the right thing, even if it was a major migraine for weekend subwaygoers. And even if the terror alert was one giant soup-to-nuts hornswoggle:

The informant [who contrived the hoax] has since disappeared in Iraq, and the Defense Department has not been able to locate him, city and federal officials said.

So an industrious Iraqi looks to make a few extra bucks by causing widespread panic and fear as far as half a world away. Hey, if stooging for Rummy's house is bust, Anna Wintour is always hiring. --MICHAEL WEISS
