‘Dark Ships’ Emerge From the Shadows of the Nord Stream Mystery
No, not the pipeline story — which is concerning in its own right, of course. But this:
"A NATO official, who did not have permission to speak publicly, confirmed to WIRED that…"
Why is it that when a person without permission to speak speaks people assume he's worth listening to?
Seems to me, when a person without permission to speak speaks he is a priori untrustworthy. I know, I know, whistleblower and all that. But this article — like many others — does not cast said official in the role of whistleblower, but as somebody who reinforces the story's thesis, pretty well laid out in advance.
Anonymous sources are only marginally useful at best, and at worse, downright dangerous.
