I'm not sure if you were joking but I suspect this is exactly right. Can you tell if the AP's story is legit or not? The AP is a fairly reliable source, but honestly, I have no idea whether or not to believe that story. I wouldn't even be surprised if administration sources are deliberately misinforming reporters so that they can call the ensuing reports fake. Their whole campaign to frustrate people into indifference about what's real is proceeding nicely.
