If it's going to come out eventually, why not control the leak? PR 101, mang

  But they're not controlling anything, they're just doing now what they would be doing if the leak had been real, assuming it was orchestrated. They would've done a better job letting everyone stay distracted by all the other crap being dropped on Obama's head right now.

    Not necessarily: you could for example throw in red herrings and disinformation along with whatever facts you're disclosing. The "limited hangout" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_hangout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_hangout is apparently a real thing, though of course once you've heard of them it's easy to start imagining them where they don't exist.
