Ingenious, I suppose, but only in the same sense as some of the means devised for slaughtering Jews by the dozen were ingenious.
Then again, it may have got him out of a tight spot last night, but it won't stand any morning-after scrutiny. On what basis is he prepared to accept a transcript of a decoded enemy military radio message, yet to reject the testimony of countless eyewitnesses and the copious physical evidence that existed, and still exists? That's highly selective.
