The crackdown seems to be a good indication that wikileaks is having a significant effect on the military and political landscapes. It was recently said that wikileaks in one leak has done more in a month than the entire corporate media has done in 9 years and I couldn't agree more. The fact is the apparent lack of conflicts of interest or pandering in order to improve viewership and raise stock prices is actually a boon to investigative reporting. Who knew?
Regarding the documents themselves, they'll become public record if something happens to Julian or any other senior wikileaks volunteer. I don't think the Pentagon or the Obama administration wants that to happen. There's a backup plan in place as insurance that the documents are already spread across many many computers all over the world in a heavily encrypted file. Should the US or our allies test the resolve of wikileaks, the password will be released and all hell will break loose because, as I understand it, there's a lot more in the sigacts than has been published by major news sources it was leaked to.
