IB inputs to Media---------Ridiculous indeed

The Union Government has received intelligence inputs about a possible 9/11 type terror strike from the air. But I am unable to understand why the same message has been circulated through media including Internet, TV and print?
What purpose is going to be served by such leakage and such publicity of highly secret intelligence inputs?
Are terrorists so much fool that they will strike their terror attack through the same route and at the same place where security arrangement has been tightened?
It is rather bitter truth that such publicity of IB inputs cautions terrorists and accordingly change their strike point and prompt them to send further misleading emails and spread baseless rumours to confuse the system of safety and security. Terrorists are shrewd enough to befool the government machinery and they know better how to execute their heinous plan. Past record of the government is enough to establish the fact that the terrorists are cleverer and stronger than our government officers.

I am therefore of strong conviction that instead of handing over details of intelligence inputs to media , government should secretly instruct the concerned authorities to be extra vigilant , provide extra armed forces , make necessary fire fighting equipment, keep ready necessary aircraft to combat and counter probable air strike and catch hold of terrorist alive instead of killing them in encounter. Also media should avoid highlighting and enlightening elaborately the IB report which they manage to acquire from their sources and instead they should share the same with controlling office of the government.

If possible government should strike missile at the place where the terror camp is conducted by foreign based terror groups to finish the cause of terror attack from the root. It is worthwhile to mention here that media often shows the picture of terror camps being organized by foreign based terror companies. Even America claims to know where the terror camps are being run by terrorists to train person for the dreadful work of innocent killings.
Why not our Indian government does use such clue and strike at the nerve center of terrorism, if warranted with the cooperation of America and international community?
Why not our government tries to instruct all the concerned departments to be in the position of Red Alert throught out the year and twenty four hours instead of confining them at the place for which they get IB inputs.
It is the need of the hour to send a message to each corner of the country that terror attack is possible anywhere and any case of laxity on the part of duty will not be tolerated. Only through such hardness in action message will in the mind of terrorist that India has become a tough target as America has become after 9/11 incident. Instruction in piecemeal and declaration of red alert or high alert after the incident is not going to help general mass who are the main target of terror attack.
