While the ultimate source is probably the CIA, this is the Jerusalem Post reporting about an upcoming book by an academic historian—so it’s presumably been vetted by a few other parties.

The term "vetted" is doing a lot of heavy work there. "Laundered" would be far more accurate in this context of imperialist invention of reality or consent manufacturing.
