Does the NY Times even read their own stories?

The NY Times reports that Iraqi border guards stopped a tanker truck filled with forged ballots. This report is based one ONE unnamed Iraqi official;
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 13 - Less than two days before nationwide elections, the Iraqi border police seized a tanker on Tuesday that had just crossed from Iran filled with thousands of forged ballots, an official at the Interior Ministry said.

The tanker was seized in the evening by agents with the American-trained border protection force at the Iraqi town of Badra, after crossing at Munthirya on the Iraqi border, the official said. According to the Iraqi official, the border police found several thousand partly completed ballots inside.

The head of Iraqi border guards denies the report say it is all lies designed to call in to question the election;
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The head of Iraq's border guards denied police reports on Wednesday that a tanker truck stuffed with thousands of forged ballot papers had been seized crossing into Iraq from Iran before Thursday's elections.

"This is all a lie," said Lieutenant General Ahmed al-Khafaji, the chief of the U.S.-trained force which has responsibility for all Iraq's borders.

"I heard this yesterday and I checked all the border crossings right away. The borders are all closed anyway," he told Reuters.

Iraq's frontiers are closed for the period of the election.

"I contacted all the border crossing points and there was no report of any such incident," Khafaji said.

Now aside from the Iraqis denying the report, can some explain to me exactly how a tanker filled with thousands of forged ballots (4 tankers if you believe the NY Times) is going to roll into Iraq's 6000 polling stations, unload the ballots and then deposit them into the ballot boxes, completely unseen and unchallenged by Iraqi military, Iraqi police and US military, and then move on to the next polling station.

Yeah, right!

Come on! Does the NY Times even read the stories their reporters submit? I mean think about, tankers filled with ballots! It's laughable. Are they going to pump the ballots into the ballot boxes?
