Granted that Brave Sir Julian is spreading out the release of the thousands of documents over an extended period of time, I believe it is a safe reading to say that he is milking the Manning teat for as long as possible, not merely as a PR gimmick, but out of necessity. This strategy of his raises the question: what will he do when that source is exhausted? Will he have anything left with which to bludgeon the great beast of the West?
If, as I suspect, he does not have much of anything left that did not find its origins from Mannings teat, and it is also true that he will not have a significant in-flow of newer documents, might Brave Sir Julian simply fold up the tents for lack of business?
This is assuming of course, that he lasts that long, and can go on milking the Manning teat for months. You know, it is entirely possible that THEY may make that technologically impossible through Denial of Service attacks or other nefarious means. (Stuxnet Wiki version 2.0 anyone?)
And, what with the Aussie government now exploring criminal prosecution, adding to the accused rapists international legal woes, Brave Sir Julian may not be on the lam that much longer.
Either that, or he will simply fade into insignificance for lack of new materials. How many Mannings can there be, and how likely is it that any of them would be able to imitate, given the present situation?
