How did this article go from "The Bush administration has admitted..." to "Senior officials in the Bush administration have admitted..." to "According to administration sources..." to "The comments from within the administration will..." to the now singular "The senior US official added..." to "...according to the US official?"

Wow! All the way from "The Bush administration" to "the US official" in one story.

If the article had been longer it would have evolved into "official in a former administration," and then perhaps there's a remote chance it would have evolved into "reporter's imaginary friend."
