Qui Bono? Seriously, speculative fiction is good, but speculative news reportage always begs the question why the story flies, who benefits, and who doesn't want it said?

I wondered this about the 'how stuxnet happened' story too: Who really benefited from the release?

Though it is not always useful, "who said it" comes to the fore. When an independent channel says it, verifies it, it becomes bigger. when its just one voice, unknown, its hard to know how to judge or weight the likelihood and impact
