The leaks reveal the confidence of a proposal and path to accomplish the genetic manipulation that Daszak and his associates have been aggressively refuting. This information contradicts those previous statements. It appears Daszak may have conflicts of interest that need more investigation.

The article has been previously submitted with and has languished without interest, I think that the Intercept's headline alone is underplaying it a little and is not suited to this forum. I think if you read the article, the HN headline above is accurate. What specifically do you think is inaccurate? Even in tone?

That's a reasonable question. First - my understanding is that we're expected to repost headlines verbatim, even if they kind of suck. It's not some unbreakable rule but it's an objective we should commit to.

Past that, I offer that headlines that will lead the public we have toward thoughtful, measured, conclusions (that reflect where we actually are) - this would seem to be our best goal.

Fair enough, it seems I can't edit it now, Dang obviously feel free to do so.
