I'm still suspicious as to the actual intention of this whole fiasco. Especially given the latest release of "potential terror targets" attributed to wikileaks, which is interesting considering their website has been brought down. The timeline of events is curious.
-Wikileaks teases the public relatively quietly for a few years with some under-the-radar stories and publishings. No one but conspiracy theorists on the web pays attention.
-Wikileaks becomes a bit more vocal, heavily criticizing the Iraq war and other Middle-East issues, creates a stir with the publication of the US helicopter/collateral damage video.
-Vague rumblings from circulate around the internet about Washington wanting to put a stop to wikileaks.
-Wikileaks distributes an "insurance policy" file, encrypted, that will be unlocked if anything happens to them.
-The media begin to take notice of wikileaks.
-Wikileaks publishes several batches of high-security files, with no real theme. Some are damning, some are unremarkable.
-The media screams "traitor" (even though the supposed progenitor of wikileaks isn't an American citizen), the government appears furious
-Assange is suddenly and suspiciously accused of sex crimes, Amazon is suddenly and suspiciously ashamed of having hosted wikileaks and pulls the plug.
-Wikileaks publishes a list of potentially critical targets within the United States...why?
It sounds a lot like a Dan Brown novel in the making, to be honest. The series of events and motivations behind them is inconsistent and puzzling.
