“If the quarter million State Department cables that WikiLeaks heaved onto the Internet in 2010 and 2011 was a “megaleak,” the secret-spilling group may need a new word to capture the size of its latest release: 2.4 million emails from Syrian politicians, officials, and associated companies, representing one of the group’s largest document dumps yet, a collection of data the group describes as 100 times the raw size of its State Department release.
The gargantuan new release, which WikiLeaks has titled the Syria Files, was announced in an event at the London Press Club Thursday morning by Sarah Harrison, a WikiLeaks staffer and sometimes-assistant to the group’s founder Julian Assange, who remains hidden in London’s Ecuadorean embassy seeking asylum to avoid extradition to Sweden to face questioning for alleged sex crimes.”
