Since it has mainly backfired, I have trouble believing that this was deliberate. The response over the next 24 hours by Wilson and his colleagues was also very uncoordinated which is hard to reconcile with a deliberate plan.

However, is there any evidence to support the notion that it was a conspiracy, and not the act of a Lone Dickhead?
