An online whistle-blower's threat to release more classified Pentagon and State Department documents is raising difficult questions of what the government can or would do, legally, technically or even militarily to stop it.

EASY defense to the brute force method, allow only one try per 15 seconds, three unsuccessful tries brings new SORRY screen.
Switch to a SLOW server that cannot even come close to NSA speed… Come-on… These Wiki-hackers are not about holding secrets.. If the governments just bash the door down, so they bash down the door and whomever gets in, what now..destroy, censor the files..??? Isn't there a chance that there might be another copy out there somewhere..?? If the Gov breaks into one site, and takes it down, it will not have solve the problem, and aren't ALL these takedowns temporary… ?? I really don't know anything about computers, but it seems to me if the hackers at Wiki are smart enough to get the info, i imagine they are smart enough to make enough copies and hide them around to preserve the content… Their mission is dissemination not cover-up or secreting information… Wiki could also have a policy that excessive attacks automatically trigger widespread release… The normally prescient Lolita seems to have taken a narrow administration centric approach to this matter.. I wonder if we will get any 911 Wiki leaks… or did the crew the Moron Prince had in place with, most likely, Michael Hayden in charge of keeping the lid tightly closed destroy all the possible 'leakable' information.. E.G. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/06/national/06CND-... He was head of NSA on 911.. NSA heard and saw nothing or not enough to raise any alarms we can observe…. What happened to the dog that didn't bark?? He gets the TOP JOB in intelligence…Bush names him director of the CIA….[DIA} Oddly, if you believe in the honesty of government… he is one of the shrillest voices condemning Wiki… Mr. see no evil…. The most important accomplishment of Wiki is their elevation of government secrecy in the minds of the public and especially the press! It is actually getting better billing than celebrity gossip.. Check out Bob White's work at http://www.911studies.com/911photostudies1.htm. He has been toiling since the JFK hit, debunking government photos. All his astonishing work goes almost totally unseen… Maybe fifty or a hundred years later his work will receive its true due. Why, and how is it possible that the rug of public indifference can be drawn over such defining moments in American History: The assassination of a president: The loss of 3000 citizens in one of our capital cities. Bob White HAS been there! Perhaps Wiki will be there in the future too… keeping watch over those in control of our perceptions as a nation…

The 911 photo study is exhausting but if you persevere there is the reward in discovering just how much you didn't know. It could be organized better, it's not, but it is an eye opener.
The only way to put an end to the endless secrecy, and the ever growing secrecy industry, is to shine a light on what is going on with all the gory details and videos. Nothing else seems to put a dent into the Mandarin wall of our corporate owned media propaganda ministries and the active hypnosis that the vast bulk of the public exist in.

I'm afraid Mr. Lin has his exponents wrong. A billion (10^9) seconds is ~31.7 years. So a trillion (10^12) seconds is ~31,700 years, 10^15 sec ~31.7 million years, and therefore 10^17 sec ~3.17 billion years. A very long time, to be sure, but somewhat less than the age of the solar system and less than 1/4 the age of the universe.
Mr. Zwillinger notes the ease at which data can bypass disabled parts of the Internet. The government intentionally configured it that way so it could survive a nuclear attack. Future historians will note the irony of this feature, which played a large role in bringing that same government down.
Mr. Bamford's comments merely reiterate the fact that the cover-up always does more harm than the original misconduct. Obviously the US government's minions have learned nothing from Watergate or subsequent scandals.
