I'm disappointed in how Greenwald planned the whole thing. Did he really not expect this to happen - especially in UK? Why didn't he have Miranda delete the files as soon as he gave them to Laura Poitras or whatever he did with them in Germany.
Now, whatever Greenwald wants to release next needs to be done fast, before the governments prepare well crafted rebuttals to whatever he's releasing, because they'll know what he'll release next.
- alasdair_ 13y agoWhat I don't understand is why anyone would bother physically transporting such files at all. Why not just encrypt them, upload them to a server and have Poitras download them? Put them on a tor hidden server if there is concern about someone finding the box directly, and bring the box down once the download is complete.
- venomsnake 13y agoI have asked myself this too. Also since Laura is good at using crypto according to the media I would have expected for them to have created a few key pairs while together in the US and a few terabytes worth of one time pads. So they can just encrypt the volume headers with them.

- glomph 13y agoIs it possible they just wanted even more news exposure?
- dlinder 13y agoDon't give up yet. Reading about TrueCrypt's other features (hidden volumes, plausible deniability) makes me think this might still be a deep troll by Greenwald. We'll see!
