As I was reading the article I kept thinking that it just didn't sound right. And then I read this from the author:
"I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these reports..."
If he can't vouch for the accuracy of the reports then he shouldn't be reporting on it. A journalist should always be confident in his sources. He should do the investigative research necessary to flush out the facts. I'm not saying it isn't accurate, I'm just saying he should dig deeper into the story before reporting on it.
