New Register says, "Good story, too bad it's fake"
How refreshing to see a news org [link|http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/31/22138.html|apologize] for running a story without fact checking. El Reg has got something found in vanishingly small quantities in the world of news, "integrity". And they make me laugh. What else do you need?
For every human problem, there is a neat, simple solution;
and it is always wrong

New Suspect, not disproven
I wouldn't call it dead yet. It probably shouldn't have run without either fact-checking or caveats, but the question of legitimacy appears to be open. John Young at [link|http://www.cryptome.org/|Cryptome] has posted and continues to post issues and evidence on both sides of the equation.
