Obviously someone must be in deep cover for a letter like that to surface.
Yes, and the Watchtower's problem is exactly that - many people in deep cover gives us information, and we simply do know what's going on. Simple as that.
I'm aware of the danger of changes in wording and stuff. That's also why some parts, names and codes are masked.
But, naturally, it's always a risc - but we can at least make it as small as possible. Some times we take a calculated risc - some times we don't. Some times we wait, and sits on evidence for a while - untill we know for certain the information has been spread to a certain degree, and publication of the news won't point to any particular person.
Of course this kind of information makes the Watchtower worried, and they don't like it at all. No secret organizations like their secrets being made public. Unfortunately for the Watchtower they're in a no-win situation at the moment, and we do get information from all over the place. And, of course, disinformation as well.
Fortunately for us, we have possibilities to sort out the dis-information, but we can "go along for a while" - to make some believe we took the bait. That's useful as well, since they always proves to be stupid enough to believe they can get away with the most insane lies if they aren't arrested as once. As in this case :))
Let's just say it this way. The Watchtower is deeply worried, and they have more reason for being so than anyone would believe!
