We have airline records of the State Dep/CIA tails. Don't think you can get away with it. You cannot. This is WikiLeaks.

We have been shown secret photos of our production meetings and been asked specific questions during detention related to the airstrike.

And now this update:
Finally cracked the encryption to US military video in which journalists, among others, are shot. Thanks to all who donated $/CPUs.

Admittedly, this is incendiary, but for this folks at Wikileaks were followed and detained?
22 hours in detention because of this? For journalists (basically)?
Used to be the press would break the story and heads would roll. I'm wondering what happens in our country now when the big bad stuff gets exposed.
What's your take on this?
UPDATE: I fixed the quotes. The story is Wikileaks received some video that was encrypted from (I guess) the Pentagon - through their usual means, by someone who leaked the information.
They decrypted the video.
After the video was decrypted and they scheduled a news conference on it, spooks from the government started leaning on them. They detained and editor for 22 hours. They apparently spied on them, and followed them from location to location.
The latest update tells what is actually in the video - military personnel shooting journalists and others.
What they decribe happened to them when they came into possession of the video and decrypted it is frightening.
