Yeah, I saw that on Westeros as well, but I'm pretty confident these are real. Ever since Book 7 (the first WoT book I actually had to wait for), I've seen Spoilers go up on the net 7-14 days before the book's release. One thing that has always surprised me is how few fake spoilers there have actually been over the years. I saw KCF's 10% of spoilers turn out to be real comment on the westeros board, but in my experience following Wotmania, RAFO, Dragonmount, and rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan, it's more like only 10% of spoilers turn out to be false.
Although I've been a fan of Slayer as the killer ever since Book 9, Graendal has always made a lot of sense, and it seems to fit with her prominent role in the prologue and some of the other comments from people who've read the book. While, i'd definitely be more sure if he'd posted, say, the glossary entry that reveals Asmodean's killer, even without that I believe Reishi. Also, someone who is posting fake spoilers I think would be more inclined to answer questions and see what all they could get away with making up just to mess with someone.
This just rings true.
The poster is right in that many people will refuse to believe. Over at Westeros, I got a reply from KCF that such spoilers are always suspect. Since he has the book, and hasn;t said one way or another if this spoiler is right, I'm reserving judgment. But the fact remains that many people will be skeptical.

I don't think there's an issue with the actually delivery of the spoiler since that's in agreement with the policy, I just don't like the reference to 'confirm it with the other poster who already reviewed it'.
