Reply #22: Maybe, this got released because the brass wanted it? You know, like the Abu Ghraib photos?

For all we know, Wikileaks has been nothing more than an electronic version of the "Litfass Columns", poles that the Prussian Secret Police put up in Berlin during the reign of Bismarck to sniff out political dissidents. When revolutionaries, socialists and anarchists posted their forbidden writings, plainclothes detectives followed them. Also GOOGLE "The Trust" for the Soviet version.

Nothing really changes.
