The anonymous tipster, whom many people initially assumed had "hacked" into the computers at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia (repeatedly called the "Hadley CRU," by mistake), might in fact be a CRU insider who released the files for his own reasons.
The user, known only as "FOIA" (which now appears to be a reference to the British equivalent of the US Freedom of Information Act), left only one comment on The Air Vent to announce his release of his 61-MB ZIP archive. He has never been heard from since, nor has anyone stepped forward claiming to be that person since the story became widely known.

PING!
When Daniel Ellsberg gave the NYT the ‘Pentagon Papers’ nobody cared that how he stole them.
Yes, the first MSM reaction is to track down the ‘leaker’ and crucify him/her......yes, very true to form.
China, India, the Ruskys??
I wonder if it’s one of these people:

I thought, from the beginning, this is an insider, not a ‘hacker’.
Everyone that looked at the files KNEW it wasn’t a “hacker” It was in fact a WHISTLEBLOWER.
“He has never been heard from since, nor has anyone stepped forward claiming to be that person since the story became widely known.”
GEEEEEZZZZZZ!!! The person(s)involved might want to live to see another day, ya think!?
Environmental regulations have been used to stiffle productivity over and over.
WHAT MORE LIES HAVE BEEN PERPETRATED?
The article that the Drudgereport linked to in the globe, didn’t talk about what the emails revealed. The globe talked instead about the illegality of the theft and reprinting of the emails.
fyi
Given the money and power behind this agenda, whoever leaked this took a great risk. I hope more people follow his/her lead before this global group (political agenda) gets controls on the Internet.
I’d be willing to bet that the suspicions that the files were leaked by an insider acting as a whistle-blower are correct - I just hope (though I doubt) that the patriot in question tucked away some additional files to slip out later (ala Brietbart) when the inevitable blowback from the warming alarmists commences.
Who are the CRU people? How do they benefit? Who are their sponsors? Will the web lead to SEIU, Soros, Andy Stern...???
What’s the cryin shame is that “environmentalists” have some point about pollution and even with a percentage of over-kill, our environment is cleaner now, but BUT.... for some reason they almost all have a bad tendancy to over-state the danger and lose their credibility.
Pulled down a copy, very damning stuff
