Craig's "Yes Minister" article used pseudonyms and a comic style to lay out his opinion that the accusations against Salmond were false and the result of a politically motivated conspiracy using the anonymity convention to protect the conspirators from facing repercussion.
Although this accusation seems to have sufficient merit, given the verdicts, to justify further investigation it does not take away from the fact the the Yes Minister article can easily be used to deduce the identities of two of the accusers.
It was not this article but a mainstream one by Dani Garavelli that allowed me to jigsaw identify one of the accusers and the fact that her article remains visible and Garavelli has faced no similar consequences does speak volumes about the selectivity used.
However Garavelli's article required one Google search to cross check names from a different source, Murray's Yes Minister article allows for immediate identification from common knowledge (if you follow Scottish Politics).
Craig's article was published before the anonymity order was issued and he should have taken it down when that order was made and certainly shouldn't have directed attention to the fact this article could be used for jigsaw identification.
Although his courthouse reporting of what the defence said is invaluable and though the conspiracy he points to merits further investigation, be was an idiot to publish the Yes Minister article and acted with foolish hubris not to take it down sooner.
