A 'leak' is a deliberate dissemination of confidential information into the public domain.This alleged leak is from where exactly and from whom?
The Federal Law N 198-FZ of December 14, 1995, adopted by the State Duma on November 24, 1995 and approved by the Federal Assembly for the establishment of the IAC will have within it drastic penalties for breach of security and confidentialty.
I'm sure the delights of an unscheduled residency in the Lubyanka would seem sufficient deterrent for any unauthorised release of information.
If RT has a copy of the transcript, then publish the part that has the notation, IAC ref number and timings.
if RT wont publish verification, then the press can fabricate anything, provide no justification for the source other than 'from someone close to the investigation', and then watch as the various comments and uninformed speculative theories ricochet about this forum. This unsubstantiated 'leak' has been republished all over the globe.
so far all we know is what was in the IAC press release issued yesterday, ie, the plane was airworthy. Everything else is just media driven speculation.
