If the Pentagon is leaking, and it is becoming more and more apparent that it is, then the report is being selectively declassified.
More likely, the Wash Post is pulling crap out of their a**hole. Just like they always do.
Think "secret prisons". That was the last phony BS they started.
Think "looted antiquities" and ALL the handwringing, when the vast majority of th ecrap was safe and sound.
Think "Wedding party Massacre" --- the WaPost led the charge of false information.
Since when have these turds reported ANYTHING reagarding the WOT accurately??
