Are you aware of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubberhose_(file_system) ?
No, I wasn't aware of it. The concept looks similar to TrueCrypt's plausible deniability.
I think he is suggesting you read up on the authors.

Before mentioning "due process", the Fifth Amendment states: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger..." The exclusion for "cases arising in the land or naval forces" apparently applies to members of…

Clearly it is the "time of war."

So what would the carbon footprint be of WikiLeaks releasing 50 gigabytes of encrypted random data?

Nope. Even in a time of war, you are entitled to your due process rights under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Sure. I'll get back to you in a few trillion years.
Psh, everyone knows that it only takes the span of a commercial break to crack military-grade double-layered crypto if you use a logic bomb.
Hey guys and gals, I just found an FTP server FULL of secret NSA files! Its IP address is 127.0.0.1 -- check it out!!!

The "time of war" clause applies to soldiers serving in the U.S. armed forces, who are subject to military law. It doesn't apply to random U.S. citizens.

HN, reddit, digg et al. would have failed long long ago if half the websites required a login before you could see the linked content. I see no good reason to make an exception for just one particular website.
This entire discussion is moot since Facebook does not, in fact, require you to log in to see content. At least not the content linked in this thread.
The thread started off with hnha asking, "why on earth is this a link to Facebook of all things?" followed by RexRollman responding, "I agree. I see Facebook in a URL and I won't visit it, regardless of what it is.", followed by you asking, "And why is that, exactly?". None of which were asking, "can I access this link without logging into facebook", so positing that the discussion can be ended simply because this link can be accessed is a non-sequitur.
Interestingly, in the same thread that hnha started, there is also a posting by brokenparser about NOT being able to access the linked content - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6228750 So, not only is your position a non-sequitur, it is also based on inconsistent evidence.

There is not enough energy available in our universe to crack a container encrypted with AES256.

That won't dissuade him. We live in strange times where people practicing cognitive dissonance want to deny others their basic rights because "terr'rists wanna blow you up!"

The NSA dedicates most of its resources to "working smarter not harder." If they have discovered a weakness in AES, it could be as little as running a single executable on a Macbook Air.
