Climategate: Which one blew the whistle?

Herald Sun (Australia) ^ | 12/5/2009 (Aussie time) | Andrew Bolt

Meet Tom Wigley, the Climategate insider who may finally have choked on all the deceit he witnessed.

It is almost certain that the leak of 4000 documents from the University of East Anglia was not the work of a hacker but of a whisteblower. The sheer effort of retrieving, itemising and sorting all those documents, and of weeding out any that were purely personal or irrelevant, required someone who had not just the computer skills and the access, but who knew what was important, and had the motivation to put in countless hours of work....

Fascinating...

[maine-iac7]

hope he’s got his back covered - for our sakes too.

He’ll be needed to testify = his personal testimony can drive the final wedge - and the Goricals know that.

[Just mythoughts]

I have been wondering WHO knew what to ‘hack’/’leak’.

[SeeSharp]

Whether it was an inside job or not he was still a hacker. What employer lets their employees read and copy other employee’s emails?

[LomanBill]

Thumbs Up to Mr. Wigley

 

 

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman

to be aware of whether or not his services are being used

as a means to accomplish evil ends -

and to act accordingly.

Yes, I agree that this is an interesting article at the Herald Sun by Mr. Bolt; the companion list If the CRU leak was an inside whistleblower, here’s the line-up of potential suspects heroes is also worth a look.

[Liberty1970]

Put him on trial. If's he the one, find him guilty and fine him $1.

Then throw a ticker-tape parade for him and enroll him in a Witness Protection Program....

Ruh, roh. The “hacker” “thief” script may be falling apart.

[sr4402]

Oh, much more interesting (from the Article):

"And I’m proud to say that for me the answer is a fellow Australian, Adelaide-born Tom Wigley, a senior scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and a CRU Visiting Fellow. "

FReepmail me to get on or off

Ping me if you find one I've missed.

If true, this man is a hero.

Climategate: Which one blew the whistle?

Monica Lewinsky....no, she blew something else.

[Tzimisce]

Wow - this guy might be burned at the stake by the most open minded amongst us....

[FTJM]

Don’t the Dems love whistleblowers? Remember how “courageous” Joe Wilson was....

[Just mythoughts]

What law is there that made the release of this data illegal?

I cannot help but be reminded of algore’s defense of ‘no controlling legal authority’, sure seems to have been part of this scam.

[massgopguy]

If they CC’d everyone on the e-mail list, all he’d have to do is not delete them. After all, it was assumed that they were all in on it.

ClimateGate.

MUCH bigger than Watergate. The biggest lie in history, but total MSM blackout!

Show these ClimateGate clips to everybody you know:

Might have been someone involved with the FOIA requests?

[Puckster]

So, information that was paid for by public taxes, ergo public domain, and should have been released via the FOIA requests, released by one of them, at one time, is worthy of prosecution? What ever happened to the evidence itself that he revealed that shows criminal activity, ignore that to what end?

Actually, I thought this file was collected for freedom of information request that they were still fighting. So it was just one file, very easy for anyone to copy since they mistakenly saved it in a public place..

While we wait for MSM to come to the same conclusion that Climategate is a whistle blower, here are a couple of climategate one liners that have merit-—

1. Associated Press assigned eleven reporters to fact check Sarah Palin’s book but has not yet noticed anything newsworthy about Climategate ——Denis Keohane

2. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Al Gore has had to cancel a Copenhagen speaking event at which he had hoped to charge starry-eyed believers in his ManBearPig religion $1200 a piece for the privilege of shaking his hand, breathing in his CO2 and having his latest book inflicted on them.-— James Delingpole
