Ars is not known for shoddy reporting. It is, however, basically a rewrite of the original ISSSource article: http://www.isssource.com/stuxnet-loaded-by-iran-double-agent...

They introduced the worm with an infected USB drive. What did you want clarification on?

Well, Iran's leaders have stated that they wish to wipe Israel off the map. At least Israel has a legitimate reason to what they are doing and then some.

#9One has to question the reason why this information was leaked now. My guess is that Israel or the US wants Iran to be paranoid about a secret agent within their nuclear facilities and go hunting for a mole. Imagine if Israel planted evidence on a prominent Iranian physicist? Good luck proving your innocence.
The whole Stuxnet story would make for a great spy novel, that's for sure.
