Julian Assange of wikileak is a HERO.
Well paid and equipped American, British and NATO soldiers are venturing out overseas countries and murdering innocent men, women and children in the name of ‘war on terror”! They have been hiding their crimes with the assistance of state instrumentality and well oiled machines!! Therefore; they are guilty and their commanders are guilty.
Julian Assange of wikileak or anyone for that matter are not guilty or any crime. In fact they are heroes. We must stand up against state terrors and support Julians of the world.

Necessary protection for Wikileaks

Now we learn that a MIT student is being questioned about possible involvement in the Wikileaks saga – there's something almost comical about watching this, as if a host of other leakers within the establishment won't follow in their footsteps, such is the dismay with US foreign policy – this piece of information is curious:
In the wake of strong U.S. government statements condemning WikiLeaks' recent publishing of 77,000 Afghan War documents, the secret-spilling site has posted a mysterious encrypted file labeled "insurance."
The huge file, posted on the Afghan War page at the WikiLeaks site, is 1.4 GB and is encrypted with AES256. The file's size dwarfs the size of all the other files on the page combined. The file has also been posted on a torrent download site.
WikiLeaks, on Sunday, posted several files containing the 77,000 Afghan war documents in a single "dump" file and in several other files containing versions of the documents in various searchable formats.
Cryptome, a separate secret-spilling site, has speculated that the new file added days later may have been posted as insurance in case something happens to the WikiLeaks website or to the organization's founder, Julian Assange. In either scenario, WikiLeaks volunteers, under a prearranged agreement with Assange, could send out a password or passphrase to allow anyone who has downloaded the file to open it.
It's not known what the file contains but it could include the balance of data that U.S. Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning claimed to have leaked to Assange before he was arrested in May.
