Repost: In "Climategate" U.S. Right concluding with FSB (KGB)
From The Independent:


Was Russian secret service behind leak of climate-change emails?

FSB accused of paying hackers to discredit scientists after stolen correspondence traced to server in Siberia

By Shaun Walker

Monday, 7 December 2009


The news that a leaked set of emails appeared to show senior climate scientists had manipulated data was shocking enough. Now the story has become more remarkable still.

The computer hack, said a senior member of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, was not an amateur job, but a highly sophisticated, politically motivated operation. And others went further. The guiding hand behind the leaks, the allegation went, was that of the Russian secret services.

3. I think the most likely
Is a system admin at CRU or EAU releasing it or someone there finding a prepared FOI act collection that was carelessly left in an unsecure location much more likely.

There are more details in the file's construction and content that make that likely than I care to go into.
