UN officials likened the Climategate controversy to Watergate today, claiming that computer hackers who stole thousands of e-mails sent by a senior climate scientist were probably paid to do it by people intent on undermining the Copenhagen summit.

Since no one knows who leaked/stole the documentation this is nothing more than a paranoid conspiracy theory.

I hope the parallels to Watergate are that the US President, though he may not have been complicit in the original crime, wholeheartedly went into cover-up mode when the initial crimes were exposed, ultimately causing the President to see the wisdom of resigning.
