Alex Klimoff's assumption that the sourcing for Fred Starr's recent WSJ piece is based on NSA intercepts is highly unlikely. The conclusion to which this leads Mr. Klimoff -- that the United States Government is purposefully engaged in a disinformation campaign concerning Putin, Central Asia and Afghanistan -- is irresponsible.
Starr's sourcing is more likely Central Asian in original. Whether Starr's information concerning the true purpose of the Putin calls is accurate, or reflective instead of the motives of the source(s), is another question.
