That the Times ran these allegations (she is under a state secrets gag folks, so it is not like she is gagged for lying) is encouraging. But that they omitted all names from the allegations is unethical. The point of a free press is not to protect the powerful against the weak, but to protect the public from the powerful. The Times was willing to stick a toe in, but was not willing to risk upsetting a foreign government (This is, after all, a British paper).
The British may be involved through oligarchs Boris Berezovsky and Roman Abramovich and because the academic kompromat link to atomic espionage started in the UK in 1925 with the Dirac Fowler plagiarism of Max Born later used by Kapitza and the Soviets in 1944 to try to pressure the British (unsuccessfully) to give the bomb secret to Russia. This may then have been used along with other cases to pressure IMF loans from Stanley Fischer and Larry Summers in the 1990’s.
See the following for how these may be linked to the Sibel Edmonds case:
