this is the Jerusalem Post reporting

it’s presumably been vetted

Vetted it probably has been, as for it being vetted for truthfulness...

All we can say for certain is that a Jerusalem Post reporter and a Harvard historian want us to believe the article’s content. We may believe, independently, that the CIA also want us to believe it—but if the CIA wanted the opposite, we’d still be reading the same article. So the trustworthiness of the article’s content depends on the trustworthiness of the reporter and the historian, not the CIA.
