Debka has been right more than wrong? Pretty easy to say when they wipe the site clean every few days. Given what's been posted from Debka here over the past year or so, I find any claim that Debka is more reliable than the NYT pretty preposterous. You like that crap, you can have it.

PS: On the US Diplomatic warnings to Syria, that was quite a scoop for Debka.

Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld was already warning Syria today that it had ignored his past cautions against aiding the Iraqi leadership. He said it was too soon to say if the United States would take action against Syria, which after Iraq is considered high on the Administration's list of enemies.

"No one has thrown down the gauntlet," he insisted, sounding like a man who was preparing to do so.

Moving against Syria would be an indirect way of cutting off aid to Hezbollah, labeled by Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage as the "A Team" of terrorists, although many experts worry that Hezbollah could draw renewed strength from the Iraqi war.

That story was datelined April 9. Not that Rummy has any influence on W's "diplomatic" initiatives, snort. Debka comes through again.
