Didn't Assange say he'd release "the key" if he were arrested?

[Duer 157099]

Well, hasn't he been arrested now?

Where is the key? Anyone know? :shrug:

1. I think if he doesn't check in with an automated system within, say, two weeks to...

...a month, the key will automatically be sent out. Just my guess.

4. He might be waiting to see if those trumped up charges stick. If he were to release the key now he'd

be disappearing whether the Swedish charges actually stick or not.

2. Interesting question ...

perhaps it's like a online "timer", where if you don't reset it, it fires off automatically.

3. I imagine he's having second thoughts.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

9. About what?

[lamp_shade]

14. Oh... thoughts like... what the hell have I gotten myself into and how the hell do I get out of it.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

15. He's gotten himself into a lifetime pension.

With health and SS bennies.

I'll try not to cry.

12. I doubt it. nt

5. WikiLeaks said they are not releasing the encryption code.

I don't know what Julian said about it.

6. WinkyKey probably has a latex device that keeps things from being released

:shrug:

7. Perhaps, but latex devices have been known to break n/t

10. Double-bag it then

:P

8. The concern is if he's sent to Sweden

and the US tries to extradite him from there.

[Scurrilous]

11. I thought he said Kraken. n/t

13. Remember the Hatch in Lost with that red button?

16. You don't want to give up your leverage prematurely.

Depending on the government's attitude, there could be some negotiation now, pressure will be applied, he will be tempted with offers. He is probably the only guy who could give an order to stop the releases and have it stick, after all, and he has that ace in the hole. Not that anybody is going to tell us about it. Watch and see what they do. Watch and see what happens.
