The information wasn't released until the person realized the folks at CRU were deleting emails in lieu of a FOIA demand.

Climategate StrategyOh, and while I’m at it. I’m wondering if this hacker is following the BigGovernment/ACORN model where releases are concerned. I note the message notifying about the first release said it was a “random sample”.Here is exactly what it said (Dale is not far off) from the place that got the message and first responded to it. The Air Vent.
Perhaps whoever did this is waiting for The Team to make firm statements.

We feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to be kept under wraps.
We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code, and documents.
Hopefully it will give some insight into the science and the people behind it.
