I think with this much effort on their part that the "vicims" involved might need to be careful of impending Arkencide. The dims (and their allies, including some posting these articles here) are setting them up for the same fate as the English "arms expert" who's suicide sparked such a damaging row surrounding Tony Blair. This won't get legs until someone dies.
Now that you mention it this is straight from the "Destroy Ken Star" playbook: leak something and blame the other guy.
