WikiLeaks and metadata (or who is Mike Kogut?)

Hi,
 
WikiLeaks has just published an internal FBI document entitled "Electronic
Surveillance Needs for Carrier-Grade Voice over Packet Service".  It's a PDF
file which can be downloaded on this Web page:
 
 
http://wikileaks.org/wiki/FBI_-_Electronic_Surveillance_Needs_for_Carrier-Gr
ade_Voice_over_Packet_Service
 
According to the document properties for the file, "Mike Kogut" is the
author of the document  (See the attached screen shot).  So who is Mike
Kogut?  The actual author of the document, a leaker, someone who works for
Wikileaks, or someone else altogether?
 
Also how common is it for Wikileaks to leave metadata in document files they
published?
