Hacker or brave whistleblower

Blue Commonwealth isn't impressed with the "Climategate" coverage. Let's look behind the emails to how they got distributed.
You'll have to come up with something better than "Don't believe this conspiracy; believe the conspiracy I see."

There is nothing in the record to suggest a hacking. Indeed, there is tremendous reason to suspect a whistleblower, tracing back the evolution of the demands for the information, the denials, and the information's path into the public realm. However the material became public, it changes nothing about its substance — all of which is subject to the UK's freedom of information act.
