The PM apparently wants an investigation of the leak - she does not appear to challenge the accuracy of the report in the SMN-News. When a government is concerned with the leak - not the facts - it usually implies that the leaked information is correct. (Of course, I have no idea if the details in the report are true or not.)

I do not understand why the results of negotiations with the bondholders need to be so confidential - I can understand why bargaining positions need to be kept confidential - and perhaps statements re particular individuals - but why the basic results of meetings with the bondholders that are known by all the participants.

Assuming that she got the facts pretty accurate, I think that Ms. Shaw has done a service with her story - I feel sure that many people had no idea about a group of "bondholders" playing such a key role in such an important property.
