Is that what they were saying? I took that part of the report to mean the reporters had ID on but when they infantry squad showed up they kinda, y'know, decided not to see anything funny, for pretty much the sort of reason you just described. A lot of this stuff is so goddamn vague anything that isn't immediately obvious can be read to favor whatever side you're more willing to assume more charitable things about, makes it a pain in the ass to really get anything worthwhile from.
