Climategate... Who is Behind The Hacking

The Climategate scandal hit the world on November 17. Some hacker got to about 1,000 emails sent or received from Professor Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research unit at the University of East Anglia in Britain. These emails were posted on the Internet and the fun began....

These emails are very damaging to those who believe in global warming. It shows that many of the most influential global warming proponents, from the scientific community, in the world were actively skewing their data, trying to marginalize skeptics and making it impossible for their research to be properly reviewed.

My question is who was the hacker and who was directing him? This individual was obviously very skilled in the ways of networks and hackers. But some individual or group of individuals had to have aimed the hacker to the right target.

This individual had to have been very suspect of Phil Jones and his colleagues. He had to have been very involved in the entire global warming controversy. And he had to know where to post the hacked emails to get the most PR out of them.

I hope that the authorities find this person. Hypocritically, it is so it will have to go through the courts and that guarantees that there will be a lot of press coverage of these emails.
