I would assume those behind Wikileaks have a system in place such that information they already have will be released one way or another even if something happened to them.

Wikileaks has had an encrypted file on their server titled 'insurance' for a while now. See: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/07/wikileaks-insurance...

if that server has collected information on it. It can be considered leaked. It's out of their control. I would think any interesting information could be considered all ready in the queue. If I wanted to do damage control the best option is to stop any addition of information to that server.

It was mentioned that Wikileaks redacts information.I'm sure it only a matter of time before that information "Leaks" as well.

Seems to me they could use a service similar to http://deadmansswitch.org/ for extra insurance. Diversify your insurance.

I'm sure something like that is in control of the password.
