I posted a long list of reasons why I thought he was from the MU in TNZ last November (reposted here later).

It's cute he thinks the story was so politically telling, just saying Like, like the good guys are worse than the bad guys because they use the bad guys 'evil' methods to win the day.

Nice one! Actually I think he's right the good guys talk a good talk - only.
