A file called "insurance" has been posted by wikileaks, an encrypted compressed file 1.4 gigabytes large.

Media speculation is it's more documents. Might be a film. AES-256 was mentioned in the Lamo chat transcripts on wired as the encryption method Brad Manning used or found used for files containing US military secrets. The words he used were strong passwords, aes-256, split and zipped files.
EDIT:I see this has been mooted in the Julian Assange interview above. Anyway, here are the links.
I happen to agree with Webster Tarpley that the Pentagon Papers were a completely controlled and intentional partial leak, heavily redacted. Woodward and Bernstein were also dupes in George H. W. Bush's project to throw Nixon out on his ass. Tarpley is convinced Assange is working for the Anglo-American intelligence community because of his freedom of movement in the UK and the non-shutdown of his servers, which is completely within the power of DoD to accomplish. I think Assange is just doing something Tarpley doesn't completely understand, there's a generation gap involved and very different cultural/subcultural backgrounds. Both parties would do well to set aside preconceptions and communicate, but the equation is now very unequal, with Assange in the global media limelight for the moment. Assange possibly fails to understand the level of disrepute to which the MSM is held by a plurality of members of the thinking public. Just as the security classifications of the "Afghan War Diary" are fairly low, so too is the political understanding among the wikileaks upper-level management rather shallow. They haven't peeled the onion back very far at all and are still dealing with the stageprops of Osama, al-Qaeda, disloyal Pakistan etc. Still, it's a quantum leap above what the Wshington Post et al. are doing today. fwiw.
