Which also refer to unnamed sources and "U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency"(read CIA)

Why lie about this when the first paragraph is explicit about its source?

> As many as 30,000 people could have been killed in the streets of Iran on Jan. 8 and 9 alone, two senior officials of the country’s Ministry of Health told TIME

  • The US paid for similar information from Iraq about WMDs just before it kicked off the invasion.

    Meanwhile, the US is rearranging its forces in the middle east. What a coincidence.

  • >two senior officials of the country’s Ministry of Health

    And their names are never called.

    • It's pretty common practice if naming them will get the people who shared the info in trouble. Depends on whether you think Time is a trustworthy source I guess
