The US releases this report in the shadow of the questionable statements and reports previously released.To have an insider intimate enough to be trusted with such high ranking mission within the enemy force would not only be an invaluable asset but an asset that would be kept secret and in place.Though this release is more thought out and refined the whole issue remains doubtful and flawed.To call your hand this early in the card game seems like a mistake the sneakiest slickest agency in the world would not make.It would have been as easily foiled by a simple phone call or other message and would have been seen as more tangible to have security alerted to the agent and apprehend him at the airport.This would have given more shock value to the world stage and presented a message of impossibility within the terror world along with keeping a valuable spy embedded in the terror world. To have such an agent in place is the Holy Grail of the spy agencies and to lose such an asset would be devastating.Such an agent infiltrated and trusted by the enemy could save countless lives over time.These facts remove the majority of merit in this series of events,but to the average person that never considers such things it would seem to be valid.It is possible that this type of bungle could happen but it would be just a bungle within the intelligence sector.
