August 5, 2010

LONDON - Online whistle-blower WikiLeaks has posted a huge encrypted file named "Insurance" to its website, sparking speculation that those behind the organization may be prepared to release more classified information if authorities interfere with them.

Bloggers have noted that it's 20 times larger than the batch of 77,000 secret U.S. military documents about Afghanistan WikiLeaks dumped onto the Web last month.

WikiLeaks wouldn't comment Thursday on the 1.4 gigabyte file beyond a vague reference to "security procedures."

In comments to independent U.S. news program Democracy Now!, editor-in-chief Julian Assange said it was better "that we don't comment on that."

1. So, this is like the envelope with the evidence in it mailed to the newspaper?

"Open in the event of my premature death", is that the analogy I'm looking for?

2. You go, Julian!

He is really very impressive, and apparently fearless as well.

I am heartened by the existence of Wikileaks and that it provides avenues that regular schmucks can follow that will allow LIGHT to be shed on some of the lies and disinformation that are spewed every day by governments, corporations and elites every single day.

Stay safe, Mr. Assange.

3. Mr. Mullen. Blood is on your hands. You sent GI's to Iraq, not Mr. Assange..
