@jacklgoldsmith Bc sources of all kinds in Yemen are at great risk talking to journos. @Sulliview
@jacklgoldsmith 2) Even so, if gang could credibly explain something that would help understand crime, that would be useful info.

@emptywheel@jacklgoldsmith if Paris gunmen contacted NYT before shooting and NYT gave them anon, would be outcry. Why is this different? -
@pwnallthethings Because this is actually useful information? NYT prints info from killers (CIA on drones) all the time@jacklgoldsmith -
@emptywheel@jacklgoldsmith is it? is this real intel,AQAP claiming credit, or a us teen pretending to have knowledge? Anon -> we don't know -
@pwnallthethings Likewise, are CIA's claims about CIVCAS in drone strikes true or propaganda? NOW we know propaganda but...@jacklgoldsmith -
@emptywheel@jacklgoldsmith sure. In both cases healthy skepticism needed. Skepticism for USG but not for anon guy from AQAP is bizarre tho. -
@pwnallthethings Who's saying readers shouldn't be skeptical? They should! Either way you're trusting same journo, editor.@jacklgoldsmith
