The Denver Post story (which is actually from the Associated Press) does debunk the conspiracy-theory aspect of this.

The Forbes piece is an op-ed... by someone who apparently wants to fan the flames. Meh.

I don't think this needs more discussion; the story has been debunked, as you point out.

ETA: See the detailed analysis of the facts of this matter here, in the "Reliable Sources" sticky at the top of the L&CR page.
