   I'm skeptical of this conclusion.  Obviously, Wikileaks has the
   provision to allow
    people to leak information anonymously.  That doesn't mean that any
   given
   leaker was anonymous to them, but it's still a possibility.
   And even if anonymous, it would be a good guess that the leaker was an
   insider.
   The sudden and suspicious death of an insider would at least seem to
   point to a
    possible identity.  Julian Assange knows that there will be much
   speculation;
   Wikileaks has a powerful motivation to keep the leaks coming, and it
   knows that
   people will be paying attention to how it deals with such
   possibilities.  It might
   even be suspected that to fail to offer such a reward, implies that
   Wikileaks didn't care about (possible) leakers.  What should he do?  If
   it were me,
   I'd offer such a reward, even if I knew for certain the victim wasn't
   the leaker.
   Offering such a reward even where they know it isn't the leaker would
   also have
   the side-benefit of diverting attention from the actual leaker, whoever
   he might
   happen to be.

   Yes!   An excellent suggestion.
