US Intell planned to destroy Wikileaks

[Helen Reyes]

I was thinking about what John Young wrote earlier and above, and I can't think of a safe way to leak stuff using electronic communications. What, WinRAR it with a password and send the password separately? Use the equivalent of an internet dropsite? The supercomputers have you no matter what, it's just a matter of dialing back to the right time and cracking whatever the encryption is. How many leakers are going to study cryptology in order to get the dox out? And even if they did, why would it be unbreakable by the world's biggest employer of cryptanalysts with the biggest supercomputer farms?

The only safe way to leak something is the old fashioned way, physically, as microfische or hardcopy or on magnetic storage media. And that's not any safer than you make it. Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
