Meanwhile, on another planet...

Greg Laden suffers from a shortage of oxygen to the brain:

"So, it turns out that Heartland was behind the Heartland leak after all. 
The evidence seems to suggest that Heartland's Joe Bast wrote a memo, then he and/or Heartland-symp blogger Steven Mosher sent it secretly to Peter Gleick. Peter Gleick then obtained additional material from Heartland, which came to him at his request but all to easily to be explained as a mere oversight on the part of some administrative or secretarial staff. The only thing missing here is evidence that Bast or Mosher or someone suggested to Peter that he verify the memo by asking for related documents from Heartland. But that would be too easy.

I believe I'd actually proposed this scenario in the beginning - as a very low-percentage possibility - on the grounds that if the memo was in fact real, it was a plant and Gleick was too stupid to realize it.
