Seems one Alexis Debat, a (now ex-) ABC consultant, has been responsible for a number of alarming stories about the global terror threat which, um, turn out not to be, well, you know, true in any way.  Those stories include:

• The Pentagon's blitzkrieg plan for Iran (Times, here)
  
• Massive suicide bomber training in Pakistan (ABC, here)
  
• And possibly the reports of Iran's sudden expansion of nuclear facilities (ABC, here)
  

It would be cool, had I the time, to build a meme tracking database for this kind of stuff, but I don't.  If you have anything to add, add it in comments.

Oh -- final tidbit.  Mr. Debat worked for the Nixon Center.
