If some-one else told you, how do you know they're telling the truth? Maybe they've been misinformed? Maybe the information that was gleaned from them under torture was only said to make the torture stop? Maybe they're also lying to direct the attention away from the person who really does have the plans.

Precisely. That's why I said "You decide". It's not a question that has a "black and white" answer, and anyone who thinks that it has clearly hasn't thought the issue through properly.
