As if no state actor could possibly be crafty enough to act like they're trying to sell the data to misdirect from their true intentions.

While I agree with you, I'm also reminded of how all the war triggered by "discoveries of weapons of mass destruction" started. That war only resulted in lots of casualties across the Middle East and of a lot of American soldiers, while Bush and others have got away having to answer to nobody about their lies.
