It's kind of like saying "US Intelligence planned to destroy WikiLeaks" (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1192677 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1192677) and then blaming the subsequent erosion of your credibility on US intelligence. It doesn't matter if it was ever true or if you have any actual evidence, so long as you have good story that appeals to your audience. Insinuation and paranoiac fantasy (wherein absence of evidence can be cited as evidence) take over from there.
