A single source justifies the Israeli airstrike on Syria

Speaking of single sourced stories, ABCNews has a Martha Raddatz piece outlining the intelligence that showed a developing nuclear plant in Syria used by the Israelis to justify their recent airstrike.

Interesting, but the thing to note is that the entire thing is sourced to a single "senior U.S. official."

With standing proof of the policy divisions between the Cheney and the Rice/Gates factions, and the long history of cherrypicking intelligence, this sort of story is worse than useless. As we've learned through Iraq, this sort of reporting is dangerous.

(And whatever happened to the "two source" standard?)
