If there is an attack, we should stick to the timetable. If their goal is to disrupt democracy, let's not help them.

If there is any real and specific information -- other than the general fact (that we all know, and have known for a long time) that Osama is a bad guy with a bunch of bad guy followers who would like to do us great harm -- we should know it. Note that specific is the key word. The general "beware of the terrorists", and "something very bad might happen somewhere" warnings are not helpful to the general public (do you change your life based on them?), and their timing has been extremely suspicious.
