I suppose if anyone's gonna get away with that it will be her.
Wikileaks has already said that they are going to add this batch to the others at a more opportune time, which implies that they are the ones that gave this batch to the FBI in the first place in order to force them to either take action or look even more worthless than they already do when wikileaks inevitably announced that the FBI did nothing with them. FBI made the right move by announcing it as quickly as possible. Maybe unrelated but maybe not, a few hours before this leak was announced by the FBI, someone tried to scale the embassy that Assange currently has asylum in. Maybe it was an attempt on his life or maybe (probably) he is just paranoid at this point and assumed it was, but either way I feel like that may be a driving factor for the timing on this, to show that he is not afraid to keep leaking stuff even if his life is at risk.

Forum belongs to you, you can say whatever you want, I don't have to agree with it but really anyone can say whatever they want. Regardless if our opinions differ, you have not banned me like most other admins of just about every site I've ever been on, so at the very least you aren't suppressant of free speech if the opinions differ from your own, which I can respect.
To explain further what I meant, I don't think entire STATES will secede (except Texas), I think communities will. As in, entire communities will band together, stop paying taxes and effectively go off the US grid. An entire state generally does not have the infrastructure or the defensive capabilities to secede in this day and age, our power grids in every state except Texas can be completely taken down with a handful of marines at best, and even if it wasn't that way, most states would consider the international ramifications beforehand; the civil war was much different than this situation because in that instance other countries could not instantly swoop in and destroy both sides while they were preoccupied with each other.
It would still be close to the same thing, effectively, because a large portion of the armed forces would be preoccupied with handling rogue communities, but individual communites do not have the foresight to consider international affairs; it doesn't help that most of those communities will barely have a handful of people with even a GED among the whole lot.
