Pentagon: return our "stolen" docs, or else [View All]

"If doing the right thing is not good enough for them," the Pentagon spokesman said, alternatives will be explored "to make them do the right thing."

WikiLeaks tweeted:

Obnoxious Pentagon spokesperson issues formal threat against WikiLeaks: Destroy everything, or else http://cs.pn/aOxf0Y

Then followed that with a fundraising request:

Now is a good time to send WikiLeaks all your money! http://bit.ly/cpxJWC

Reiterating the Pentagon briefing and money call a couple of hours later:

Pentagon: return our "stolen" docs, or else http://bit.ly/cvcWRu Support us now: http://bit.ly/cpxJWC

And then said that the site, which posts confidential documents, was weighing Morrell's statement:

We are examining the Pentagon's "request" and will issue a statement in due course.

WikiLeaks sparked speculation by posting a 1.4GB encrypted file called "Insurance" on its site -- a file about 20 times larger than the original document dump. The title suggests a challenge to the U.S. government's pressure on the secretive site.
