Interesting analysis of Assange's theoretical system of conspiracy
which might hint at why WikiLeaks may be of interest to P's readers:

Not saying I agree with all written here, but it brings together
metaphors of computing, chemistry, systems analysis, The Wire, the
media, governmental networking, Bunyan and The Battle of Algiers.
"You destroy the conspiracy, in other words, by making it so paranoid
of itself that it can no longer conspire."
Nice.
