Wikileaks Releases A Massive "Insurance" File That No One Can Open

Posted by samzenpus on from the just-in-case dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks just released a treasure trove of files, that at least for now, you can't read. The group, which has been assisting ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden after he leaked top-secret documents to the media, posted links for about 400 gigabytes of files on their Facebook page Saturday, and asked their fans to download and mirror them elsewhere."

    If their "mission" is openness - and the info is that damning - shouldn't they be publishing it? I mean, isn't that sort of the point of Wikileaks? Or just attention whoring?

      Maybe its just me, but someone who displays a lack of integrity in their personal lives (ie, by breaking marriage vows / trust) seems to be a poor candidate for holding a lot of political power.
