Debka has been right about a lot of things.

But some people have a knee jerk reaction to it, for some reason.

As you said, Debka was right about the WMD shipment from Iraq to Syria. They had it on their site literally months before other news media picked it up and the US government confirmed it.

From my readings of Debka, I think that they farther you get from Israel, the less accurate they get. I think they are highly connected with Israeli intelligence, and a lot of what they report w/ respect to Palestinian terror is quite accurate. However, the farther afield they get, the less accurate. I remember about a dozen warnings posted on Debka involving imminent terror attacks in the US, none of which happened. Remember the 50,000 Chinese troops who were about to attack us in Afghanistan? Remember the stories from Iraq about Saddam's underground cities, which definitely would have been discovered by now.

Generally, I pay far more attention to Debka when they stick to Israel. The minute they talk about the US, I get very skeptical.
