Macgregor did not leak the document(s), Gubler did. Macgregor published it/them, in the process naively ignoring a fundamental of journalism - if you are going to publish confidential information, make sure you do it with the backing and support of a media organisation who will fight the legal battles for you.

By the way, I am convinced that if the alleged crime had any direct link to Rawat that could have dragged him into court in some capacity, prosecution would never have been considered an option. The one thing sure to burst Rawat's tenuous philosophical bubble is exposure to a rigorous examination process and he will avoid this at all costs.

I am disappointed in Macgregor. Apologising is sometimes necessary in journalism. Apologising for an apology is unbecoming. But however morally spineless he may seem he will never approach the depths of those who drove him to it. They know who they are and so do we.
