No, you are not correct about this. A major source of information is highly placed U.S. government officials speaking anonymously. If you read widely in the political press, you will see phrases like "according to a senior administration official" or "according to a senior Pentagon official" over and over again. Why don't you start reading the articles carefully? I think you will see phrases like that very, very often. The story did have a fact checker! The Pentagon! What better source for verification could there be than someone at the Pentagon reading the story and correcting parts of it that were not factual? And that it exactly what happened according to my understanding of the story. Please correct me if Newsweek now says no one at the Pentagon reviewed the story before it went to press.
