I agree with Supercandy that the hype is something the terrorists want, they are still relevant as long as people are still afraid of them.
But, on the flip side, is it possible that so much hype will make them appear inept if they do not accomplish something... people may walk away with the feeling that we can control them and their ability to attack.
Yet unless evidence is given of a thwarted attack, that is not the case. If the Russians simply say 'they were planning multiple attacks and we stopped them all', but then fail to produce any evidence of such... it is the Russians who end up playing the part of the fool.
