Maybe I'm missing something, but the mere notion that something that
3-400 people have access to (more likely thousands, with associates,
managers, etc.) is a tight secret is ... mind boggling. And then when
the logistics of distributing all these terabytes to hundreds of
recipients, months ago, without a single accident, is considered, this
becomes a virtually impossible proposition.
On top of this, it appears that each entity got a custom subset - a
major editing task.
And none of these thousands - not a single one - sent a copy to
Wikileaks? Give me a break.
What we have here is a totally unrealistic interpretation of the
reality. But then it was only a matter of time when the 'anonymous
leaks' strategy will get weaponized and incorporated into media business
model.
