The article contains an interesting note at the end: "Eitvydas Bajarūnas is an ambassador in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania, and currently a Center for Europe Policy Analysis (CEPA) Visiting Fellow. Assessments and views expressed in the article are those of the author and should not be treated as the official position of the MFA of the Republic of Lithuania." That may suggest bias, but also an unusual level of insight (and there is the possibility that it is an official position pushed through a "side channel" to make it look less official). And according to the BBC article, it's destination isn't Malta, at least not until they figure out where else to unload the cargo, because Malta won't let them in with the cargo on board. That in itself is noteworthy. Especially since the "it might leak" claim sounds like it might just be an intentionally-transparent pretext.
