Were the University of East Anglia emails hacked or the result of inside leak? The UK Telegraph reports that Sir David King, who for seven years was Tony Blair’s foremost scientific adviser, said the “extraordinarily sophisticated” hacking job was most likely an intelligence operation by foreign spies. Not only that, he says the most likely culprit is the Russians…and the Americans…he guesses.

In his interview with the UK’s Independent, King “guesses” that “If it was a job done on behalf of a government, then I suppose there is the possibility that it could be the Russian intelligence agency. ”

But that’s not all–he also guesses that the American lobby system was a “very likely source of finance” for the hack and that “the finger must point to them.”

While we believe the Russians are technically and organizationally capable of pulling this off, we doubt the American intelligence system that has been pussified by the democrats over the years could do anything like this, unless perhaps stimulus money was involved, or course.
