Speculation that turned out to be wrong, in the end. That's not uncommon for intelligence reports. Most of them, especially ones derived from HUMINT, don't pan out. Many intelligence reports come from sources with conflicting interests, guys that aren't above telling us what we want to hear in order to influence our actions. That happens every single day.
What is uncommon is FReepers running to CNN for help in backing their theories. At least, it used to be.
