Answer two questions to obtain your answer:

How credible is GEN Mattis?

How credible in anonymous source?

Actually you are allowed to look at lots of other facts to determine who is lying.

I don't know how you can judge the credibility of the source when you don't know who it is. Woodward broke the Watergate story on information from anonymous sources, so I guess you believe Nixon is innocent also, right?

Mattis would lie to protect his boss if he felt is was necessary to protect the United States.
