Wow. Not in a good way.
Sorry to cut ahead in the story, but Agent Mark Force is under indictment for abusing his position to commit theft and fraud. It is ridiculous to think of a long-term officer talking to the police without a lawyer. The idea that he would talk to a reporter is flatly unbelievable.
All this stuff about him sitting up and taking notice in a briefing or musing on his career or fluffed pillows is straight-up invented. Making up stories is not journalism. Reading this can only mislead people. This is a terrible take on an incredible story.
- Tloewald 11y agoYou're jumping to conclusions. It's possible the details are accurate (or at least come from the horse's mouth). You don't know what the reporters got from interviews or when. He may well have been interviewed earlier, or advised by his attorney that cooperating with a piece that would portray his earlier actions in a positive light couldn't hurt him. I don't know how high WIRED's standards of fact-checking are. Customarily, they'd need two independent sources for any statement of fact. (I believe the New Yorker, at least, cleaves to this standard.) I suspect this presages a book on the subject.
