Wall Street Journal names ex-Army officer as go-between for MPs' expenses data

The Wall Street Journal has named John Wick, an ex-British army officer who runs a security company, as the man who approached The Times with the data on MPs' expenses that was later obtained by the Daily Telegraph.
The WSJ also reports: "On Friday a London-based public relations consultant working for Mr. Wick, Henry Gewanter, said he would give The Wall Street Journal access to the reimbursement information if the Journal agreed not to identify Mr. Wick as its source. Mr. Gewanter said he was making the same offer to British newspapers and expected to complete the arrangement early next week."
Wick is reported to have asked The Times for a total of £300,000 for the data and was turned down.
