Post Description

29 July 2010. Wikileaks has added a very large new file to the Afghan War Diary [wikileaks.org[slant]wiki[slant]Afghan_War_Diary,_2004-2010]:

Insurance file: 1.4 GB

(SHA1: cce54d3a8af370213d23fcbfe8cddc8619a0734c) 

The file, "insurance.aes256," is ten times the size of the seven other files combined. Appears to be encrypted with AES Crypt [www dot aescrypt dot com]. Wonder if it includes the 15,000 Afghan files withheld, or the original raw files, or perhaps much more, pre-positioned for public release ("insurance") against an attack expected to come from DoD and Justice or parties unknown. A passphrase to be distributed or published widely in case of a takedown.
