I had not looked into this since the story broke awhile back. But it looks like her involvement was denied. It received tons of coverage and a line might still be OK based on that. Could be considered scandal mongering but it could also make it clear that she was likely not involved. I don't have a preference.[1] Cptnono (talk) 14:23, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
