From the posting:

WikiLeaks releases encrypted versions of upcoming publication data ("insurance") from time to time to nullify attempts at prior restraint.

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Saw this last night, very interesting. Seems this is something that somebody really doesn't want out there (entirety of Manning or Snowden dump?) and if anything happens to Assange or Snowden, they release the key. Hence 'insurance'.

There must be some pretty interesting data in there, because the US and UK governments have gone completely off the grid insane on this, burning bridges left and right to try and stop the leaks. I hope Snowden keeps releasing more and more, or maybe someone else can do the same thing and release even more information.

The 349 GB file either indicates we've got audio or video files on our hands here, or it's a big bluff and it's a file of randomized nonsense.

I thought it was 3.49 GB (the first link), I didn't see that the next two were that much bigger. You'd have to think there would be audio or video in there to make the files that big, but what could some low level guy have in audio/video that would make the NSA get that nervous??
