    or you can not stop a laugh flash
    Perhaps some other departments missed that recent development, either this event or Liebermann making a laughing stock of themselves

    This "expert" (or the CNN reporter misunderstood) shows some serious lack of understanding about AES:

    There's a reason Assange specifically announced -- on the Web -- that there is a 256-key encryption code that only a few trusted associates know that will unleash the contents of the 1.4 gigabyte-size file.

    "He's saying don't even bother trying. It will take you so long to succeed that by that time, it will be too late," Nigam said. "Most of the time, you see a 56-key encryption. That's considered secure. When you are using 256, you are sending a message: 'I'm smart enough to know that you will try to get in.'"​

    What's that again? Keys? Bits? Bits? Keys? 56-key encryption?

    The Jester's Wikileaks attacks likely made through Anonine.com

    Modeled on previous attacks:

    http://www.infosecurity-magazine.co...er-takes-the-distributed-out-of-ddos-attacks/

    "What is interesting about the attack vectors used is that the attacks are reportedly being made through the Anonine.com Swedish IP anonymiser service, which offers users high levels of anonymity in return for a modest monthly payment."

    Without getting into the misuse of classifying information, classified information doesn't come under Freedom of Information.

    Be sides. Documents were stolen and sold, and wikileaks received stolen property.

    Curious how you'd feel if someone who worked for you stole your client information, and sold it to someone who made it available. You'd be okay with that based on "Freedom of Information"??

    I dont think there is any evidence wikileaks paid for anything ??, but it's a valid point Pete..well made and obviously one of the contentious issues around wikileaks MO.

    I Read that article:

    first kicking now earning - mockery, hypocrisy or what?

    Amazon's - WikiLeaks documents expose US foreign policy conspiracies. All cables with tags from 1- 5000 [Kindle Edition]
    wondering what Lieberman will call this - perhaps a biz opportunity - will they donate to the source?

    the governments classifying documents for what purpose? to shield some sort of data/information from the public. Who is to balance that information? It is a simple way to keep the public uneducated and to seed fear, distrust and contempt. History has shown some disturbing and disastrous results of such acting. Then the Nam papers should never have seen the light of day nor the lies about WMD should have been exposed publicly.

    So far there is no info that WikiLeaks paid anything, and this information is not private property...just today WikiLeaks has published a document that indicates the goverment in my country might be involved in serious crimes....shouldn't this be known?? what if you are a victim of this crimeso_O??
