Jarvis,
You'd be wise to overlook short term appearances and seek out the front-to-back knowlege the man has.
There are a number of us who have been here since the early GAAY days. One piece at a time, we have separated the truth from the lies, put the possibilities into practical perspective, and tried to shake the fluff out like dust in a rug at Spring cleaning.
Frank Olsen has about 15 calculated versions of every story he tells. They range from the almost-factual to the absolute BS he uses to get people to hang up the phone. Fatso is the Master of the manipulated Tactical Leak. This is clearly evidenced by the abject BS "DD" (aka:..PP..) spattered on the Board at RavingBoolschmidt by the alias-dated-yesterday, ALL CAPS Know-it-Alls.
WW has been pretty close to the inside, and is a better interpreter than most. Pay attention. He may make you, or save you, a ton - based on a multitude of cross-referenced sources. That's the only way to decipher (..without a match..) whether Feahwuss Fwankie is passing gas, shoveling schmidt, or mistakenly and out of character - telling you the real deal.
John :-)
