The scientist at the heart of the climate change email scandal was today interviewed by police about the scandal.
Two plain clothes officers arrived in an unmarked car in the afternoon and took Professor Phil Jones to Norfolk Police's headquarters in nearby Wymondham to give a statement.
Sources said the interview concerned the theft of emails from the university and alleged death threats since the contents of the emails were released, adding he was being treated as a 'victim of crime' rather than a suspect in any criminal investigation.
Detective Superintendent Julian Gregory added: 'He is one of the people assisting police with their enquiries.'

I was hoping for something more exciting, but it will be interesting if it turns out there was no hacker but it was an inside job.  :popcorn:

How different this is from when Sarah Palin's emails were hacked.  The news was all about the content, not the crime, now the MSM treats this completely the opposite if they mention it at all.  :whatever:

I'm thinking that it's likely. Some of the emails were released to BBC (I think it was them) about a month ago and they sat on it, so I imagine the guy who leaked them wasn't too thrilled with that, so he decided to hack into the system and release the emails that way.
