It really is interesting to watch Wikileaks come unglued since their insurance file became open season on the internet. They thrashed about blaming the Guardian and are basically screaming to anyone who will listen…
**cricket sound**
Now in an effort to rather unceremoniously stuff the genie back in the bottle, tweets have been deleted from various time lines and so forth. But, there’s a problem. The Genie NEVER fits back in the bottle. So, sure enough we find the password is still readily accessible on Google Books in a excerpt from “WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War on Secrecy” By David Leigh, Luke Harding, Edward (CON) Pilkington, Robert (CON) Booth, Charles (CON) Arthur. (h/t “A”)
Um, yeah, oops. The really interesting part is that this book was published in February 2011 and only now someone noticed?
Now, if one only had access to the insurance file. Oh right. That’s already out there too.
Bit of a wrinkle really.
