Hi Terry,
Journalist Daniel Flitton's profile appears here in The Age -
http://about.theage.com.au/view_profile.php?intid=1469
A Fulbright Scholar, a former university lecturer in international relations and a
former government intelligence analyst, one might reasonably expect that Flitton
has established a wide range of sources over the years.
The Nature article source corroborates the claim but qualifies it as being a close call.
The Chinese press article of 22 Feb 2012 raises the speculation that the South African
government was aware of the site recommendation and hence emboldened them to play the
card that says "the agreed process must follow its course".
