Yes, it is...
Now, am I the only person who sees why our military would find it advantageous to leak such disinformation to Hersh?
Question: At this point in the war, do we want to scare the Taliban into scattering and going off into hiding, or do we want to sucker them out into the open so we can identify them and kill them?
What kind of story would be most likely to do that? 1. "We came, we saw, we kicked ass." 2. "Eek, they got the jump on us, they scared us, we almost got our butts whipped, they stopped us from achieving our objective, if they attack us next time we could be in big trouble, don't throw us in that briar patch".
Also, the best way to handle intelligence gathering is, "if you didn't get much, make them think that you did, and if you did, make them think you didn't." If we got a treasure-trove of information from the Omar raid, the best way to handle it would be to leak that we hadn't gotten much at all. That way the enemy won't think that they have to change their codes/positions/activities, which they would do if they thought we had now learned their inner secrets.
