Self-correcting systems by definition evolve.
It now appears that the "straw man" operation has evolved a strain with significantly enhanced resistance to exposure. It now protects itself by breaking off an ostensibly benign mutation to emerge and warn the host entity that malignant "straw man" strains are at work.
Once the benign mutation is trusted, it draws the host away from its malignant siblings, which in turn are left to dine in peace.
My oh my, doesn't the "revelation" of a Palestinian-related motive for Diana's murder -- a plot device I had imagined years ago for my Tear the Lace script -- loom as just the sort of twist that is indispensable to the success of all great stories?
(And my oh my oh my, aren't these sorts of operations constructed as dramas?)
On a related note, I'd ask Mr. al Fayed as well as all serious Diana investigators to look very deeply into the Mark Zaid/al Fayed relationship.
Mr. al Fayed continues to be victimized in an operation that, like the JFK murder, never will come to an end.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
