This guy is impatient... They learned this from wikileaks: 10 huge headlines spread across half a year is more effective than 1 huge headline today.


Actually, Wikileaks released a dump of everything Chelsea Manning sent them, including diplomatic cables that only served to hurt innocents across the globe. That's a great example of what not to do.

The Guardian and Washington Post handled Snowden's leaks very differently, sourcing and verifying each article, then releasing quite a lot more than 10 major headlines over the course of a year or so. I trust the ICIJ will do the same.


Wikileaks released the 'insurance file' encrypted. The release of the password seems to be some kind of bizarre mix-up, the Guardian journalists released it in a book... See:

Thank you for that link. I was not aware of the circumstances.
