>We know that the UK government has just gotten hold of these documents, but we don't know whether there's anyone sympathetic to the cause mixed in there. It's likely the leaker is unsympathetic to the cause. Leaking operational details that could spark that 'OMG, if someone finds that out, our guys could get killed' panic would be one way of gaining public support for more of the heavy-handed government censorship that the UK government is inflicting on this case. It's obvious that the Indie is embarrassed about the very nature of it's source here, and it claims to not be 'duped'. So this could be an actual government propaganda piece of some sort, it could come from the spooks who pulled Miranda's hard drives, or they might be spying on fellow journalists, or the source is just so unreliable that the journalism here is laughable. The last of these sounds fairly unlikely given the lack of any kind of denial of the alleged facts.
