Washington Post copies Operation Garbo

WaPo's ham-handed reliance on unidentified sourcing is eroding the news outlet's credibility and rendering its printed version best suited for lining the bottom of bird cages

Juan Pujol Garcia does not write for the Washington Post. He once had the talent to, but he died in 1988, at age 76—a decorated hero of World War II.

Garcia’s code name within British Security Service MI5 was “Garbo.” Garbo was a Spanish citizen whose hatred of the European Communist and Fascist regimes of his time motivated him to volunteer, in 1939, to become a spy for the British.

He had no experience in the espionage business. What he did have, though, was a vivid imagination.

Multiple citations of what unidentified sources say, believe, and feel has become standard operating procedure at the Washington Post.
