The skills necessary for typing are woefully short of the skills necessary for hacking or cryptographic analysis.
I think one answer to the conundrum of who Wiki/Assange is, and/or where he gets his material, would be to have the information and understanding about the complexity of security that supported those systems that had to have been hacked (if they weren't donated), and the degree of skills, mathematical knowledge, technology or simply insider's access to obtain them. For example, did or could this fellow Manning have access to the range of material (or the skills to get it?) he is claimed to be responsible for giving to Wikileaks?
Who here has that knowledge, or can obtain that information?
At any rate, if after all the years have passed since 1947 (the creation of the US security state) and our own World War II history of reading others' cables, the Enigma machine, the deep cryptology knowledge of Bletchley Park, the formation and expansion of the NSA, or the massive push backed by serious dollars in the fields of encryption and cyber-espionage in the run-up to and after 9/11, and the US still had its diplomatic cables published en masse, then it deserve the humiliation.
Or maybe it's a bit of harmless self-deprecation because of course we have unbreakable cypher sytems to protect our Hilarious Secretary of State.
Don't we?
