The resulting aggression we see today is a sign of a shock at the dimensions of the fight. No nation has ever fought, or even imagined, a war with a nation that has no homeland and a people with no identity. And thus does the U.S finds both its rulers and its laws punishing the truth-speaking and fighting those who stick by their own motto of truth and bravery.

The only way this war will end is if both sides realize that this is the closest we have come to a war-of-the-worlds: the Internet and the real world are that far apart. This is a battle of applied ethics: information transparency versus the ideal that some are more fit to know than others.

There is no question that the side that will win this ethical battle will be the one to define, at least for the coming decade, if information transparency is nurturing or destructive.

We can expect nothing, unless Jules releases his password.
Which would (releasing the password as a retaliation for his hypothetical imprisonment, or threatening to release it if imprisonment looks imminent ) probably be his insurance if things go wrong for him.

Imagine thousands of people all over the world releasing the document...

On the other side, if he doesn't release the password, here is a table, so do the math...

comes down to: CIA & Co. need to find a way to keep him from releasing the password, while the 'insurance file' keeps spreading around the world?
in other means: while the evidence keeps slowly spreading, the US gov. can't do anything about it, other then shut down the entire internet?
and when they would shut down the entire internet, they would only cause other ways of info spreading to only spread the message (which has to be decrypted) even faster...
meaning: whatever the Gov. does, when that file really holds something they don't want to see publicly it will get spread. no matter what...

so, the only thing we have to wait for, is that encrypted file to be spread all around the world and the password to be released, right?

or am I missing something?

What if someone could create a program that all possible passwords will be tryed at once, then that would save alot of time wouldnt it ^^. it would extract the files instantly.
