Perhaps another good journalist could score a one-up on this one? That aside, it doesn't seem coherent that the owner of the laptop containing the sensitive materials would voluntarily agree to conceal the names of the agents, and at the same time let their machine/drives be destroyed by the same sleuths (crooks?).
Seems fishy, but then what is not given the circumstances.
