"What is odd about Ms. Flock's email is that Greenpeace had not yet sent the letter to Charles Koch. Rather, Greenpeace apparently was coordinating with U.S. News to create a "news story.""

Greenpeace routinely engages in fraud and why not?
7/19/12, "Journalists beware: Shell Arctic hoax signals move from subtle spin to activist deception," Poynter.org, Jeff Sonderman
"It was the beginning of an elaborate hoax by Greenpeace and a group called the Yes Men.
Not only was the video fake, but journalists who wrote about the video received followup emails (also fake) from “Shell” calling the video a hoax and directing them to a company website. But that Arctic Ready website, it turns out, was yet another hoax.
So, activists produce a fake viral video, get journalists to write about it, send journalists a fake email admitting the video hoax but steering them to yet another Web hoax.
The website poses as a Shell corporate site with believable yet unflattering information about its Arctic drilling activities, including how the company is excited to take advantage of the “tremendous opportunities” of climate change.
Even a journalist who tried to do some due diligence by diving deeper into the site might be misled."
