Earlier this weeks, Wikileaks released of video of an incident involving an Apache helicopter which killed two Reuters reporters and a number of bystanders in Iraq.
A number of the reports surrounding the release claim that the video was "decrypted" by Wikileaks. Indeed, Wikileaks requested "supercomputer time" via twitter and other means to "decrypt" a video, see: http://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/7530875613 The video was apparently intentionally given to Wikileaks, so one can't imagine that the releasing parties would have wanted it to be unreadable by them (or that any reasonable modern cryptosystem would have be crackable). What, then, does the "decryption" claim mean here. Does anyone know? Perry -- Perry E.
