  value: It combines authoritative sourcing (National Review), precise quantification ('60,000'), and loaded terminology ('cooperation', 'test') to lend gravitas to an assertion about state intent — yet offers no evidentiary chain linking Moroccan officials to the movement, creating tension between the strength of the claim and the absence of supporting detail.
