| WikiLeaks says it's under powerful cyberattack |
| 2010-11-30 |

| #2 It won't matter. They can release the other files as a single zip file on any number of file sharing sites and call the NYT to tell them it's there. Word will get around in an instant and it will be scarfed up and distributed. That's why the US government is powerless to stop them. |
