No, it doesn’t, not necessarily. Other news outlets may supply the name of the official but I couldn’t find it on Twitter nor on NBC or ABC.
But I am beginning to suspect it’s the usual anonymous sources thingy.
Gee, the media has such a great record on the veracity of anonymous sources, how could anyone doubt this one?
A new low for the media - first it says the Pentagon is the source; then later switches that to anonymous. Nonfalsifiable is not the same thing as true.
