Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is expected to appear in a UK court tomorrow!

[Peter Lemkin]

Yes, that is a huge amount of data to add to an already huge amount of encrypted data! These must make the US Secrecy Establishment very nervous and doubly determined to 'get' Assange!

But if they 'get' Assange the insurance pays out because they keys will get released. There are hundreds and thousands of people who have it downloaded waiting for the keys to release it all. They definitely don't want that. They want to keep all their dirty secrets under wraps even more than they want Assange.

Yes...But....I don't claim to be able to follow their thinking [nor morality], but they could well weight this against the prospect of future data exposees from Wikileaks that harm their secrecy fiefdom even further. Some of them may even dream of putting Assange in such jeopardy that in their mind he'd fear about releasing the keys for fear of his life or further torture - though I don't think that would work - I'm just trying to look into their evil minds and ways of thinking. They likely even have contingency plans to 'neutralize' Assange and all those with the ability to release the keys, if they feel it in their interest - and all kinds of other 'lovely' alternatives.
