The drudge factor: it took less than 4 days for story to migrate from
cpunks to mass media.
I would suggest better capitalization management in the future: once
there is an obvious media-outlet consumable item, a cpunk meme should
be piggybacked on to it, so once brainless vaginas on TV start to read
the story, the meme jumps through the glass.
In this case JYA could mention that he got PGP encrypted message from
the source or whatever ... I am not a marketoid.

WEB LEAK SPOOKS THE SPOOKS; SECRET CIA DOCS END UP ONLINE
A secret CIA report of the U.S. intelligence community has been posted
on the Internet!
The CIA briefing, prepared for visiting Japanese intelligence
officials has appeared on CRYPTOME, an Internet site [
http://jya.com/crypto.htm ], which is run by activists opposed to
government secrecy.
CRYPTOME�s webmaster, John Young, tells Sunday�s WASHINGTON POST that
he posted the secret CIA document, together with lists naming hundreds
of agents from Japan's Public Security Investigation Agency, after
receiving the documents from a source in Japan.
CIA officials have not asked Young to remove the briefing, but two FBI
agents called him on Thursday and forwarded a request from the
Japanese Ministry of Justice that the lists be removed. "Young
refused, saying publication of the lists contributed to public
awareness of how government agencies function," reports the POST.
