What reason would the CIA have to correct the report? Does it need to make sure no one thinks they are leaking classified information? Otherwise, why not let the story be out there, even if it isn't true? I think it just helps to confuse BL, which is a good thing, right?
1. Prevent internal US SOG confusion. (Bad intel worse than no intel.)
2. P*ss off Jennings and ABC.
Sounds like two good reasons to me!
