Good stuff David. As already alluded to in your first post, the possible 'info to pirates' angle is indeed fascinating. It has a certain ring to it doesn't it? - as does the 'strategy of tension' fit when the two issues are combined.
It will be no surprise whatever if we are presented with another prize patsy here. Imagine if the guy(s) responsible for the expenses leaks turn out to be the ones also supplying shipping info to pirates. It needs careful thinking through but right now, with parliament completely discredited in the eyes of an hysterical public and both 'issues' having massive 'war on terror' implications it is difficult to imagine that the SS's have not been indulging in their usual skulduggery from the outset.
Looks to me like Jan's wide geopolitical 'cui bono?' question is likely to be the most productive line of inquiry.
