Schmidle has demurred from tackling this serious issue of credibility, integrity and veracity directly.
A flat lie. I saw him interviewed last Monday on PBS's Newshour program and the interviewer asked him how he developed the story and whether he had talked to the SEALs on the mission in person. Schmidle replied to the latter question with a categorical and unambiguous denial; he could not have been more straightforward. This article is a hit piece that attempts to deceive its readers for traffic, but which has no basis in fact.
