"May" trying to do Might's job

[sagehen]

Heard on NPR news this morning  (roughly):
New intelligence reports reveal that the public transport bombings in
London, 2005 ,* may * have been averted since some of the perpetrators had
been identified, were under observation and overheard planning the attack.
Some amnesiac or other innocent getting information from this source  would
be relieved to learn of the  happy outcome.
