It belongs in this group precisely because there's no (viable) counter to the story. Yet. I've been debunking this rumor for MONTHS! And now, here it is reported in the NYT! Whatever is up with that, I think it's something Creative!


Not to take anything away from your months of work, but I can't tell what "rumor" you are referring to. Did the US Embassy not state what it is reported to have stated? Were eight people not arrested?

ETA: And how does the absence of a &quot viable) counter" qualify the story for Creative Speculation?
