Is This Believable Or A Fabrication?

SEE HERE I'm putting this out there because it is so strange.  If it's true then it's another indication that you can't trust anything you're being fed by the news media.  But is it true?  The problem with taking stories off the internet is that there is no very good way to validate them.  This is interesting and it all hangs together fairly well at first blush.  Is it reality?  I have no clue.  I would guess we'll hear more one way or the other.  Playing covert footsie with Iran would not surprise me.  The security detail I'd expect to be larger.  If it is true, then another question is by what channels was the story leaked?   HERE'S THE OTHER STORY
