WikiLeaks posts huge encrypted file to Web
Yahoo ^ | July 5, 2010 | Rapahel Satter

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.

At 1.4 gigabytes, the file is 20 times larger than the batch of 77,000 secret U.S. military documents about Afghanistan that WikiLeaks dumped onto the Web last month, and cryptographers say that the file is virtually impossible to crack — unless WikiLeaks releases the key used to encode the material.

They would stop using it, and thus reveal that it has been broken.

That would be the only reason to stop using a formerly unbreakable system.

Being born in Oklahoma alone does not make one a natural born citizen. It takes two citizen parents.

Father was in the Army married to a Britian-moved to Oklahoma, thus, making him more of a citizen than Obama.

He was born in the U.S. to British parents. Manning was not a natural born citizen.

Cool your jets the stuff being supposedly released now is political dirt of Hillary Clinton from wikileaks soon. The AD Manning is in jail on his way to death row quickly from what the news says. The current file is encrypted and the yahoo news story says Manning has insinuated some encrypted supposed file called “insurance” is political deals Hill would not be happy if it leaked.

It is n u t s.

That is why you never let the enemy know you cracked their encryption system.

You know...this could be a setup. Obambi has the power to close the INET for up to 4 months. The threat of this information getting out could be what he needs to act.

Wiki could have been working together with the White House all along.

Cut off the internet about, oh say, Labor Day. Might be able to get back on FR by Christmas? I just hope that there is nothing newsworthy happening between then and December.

In the future do your homework...You make the rest of us look bad.

Susan Manning, 56, moved to the US in 1979 after marrying Bradley’s American father Brian Manning, a former serviceman who was based at the Cawdor Barracks in Brawdy, near Haverfordwest.

Bradley Manning was born in Oklahoma but the couple divorced in 2001 and Mrs Manning moved back to Wales with her son, who sat his GCSEs at the Tasker Milward secondary school in Haverfordwest.

“The US Army intelligence analyst, who is half British”

From your link. Manning is not a natural born citizen. Was his mother a US citizen.

When the Pentagon “asked sweetly” for the melinin challenged one to return the files, I knew they wouldn’t do it.

That was equal to the Pentagon raising the white flag.

here is your answer Pentagon WHAT are you going to do about it NOW.

The kid next door is already on it. He is actually quite good for a 13 year old.

“Wikileaks doesn’t have the key. They are hoping some hacker can crack it.”

What wikileaks wants is a ‘seti@home’ network of cpu’s to crack it.
