in the past i've used p2p networks along with traditional search engines to locate documents of interest. in particular, PDF and DOC formats, especially related to "Confidential Information" and court filings. i won't go into details, but suffice to say this is very effective if pursued as a consistent strategy over a modest time period. ("it only takes one..."). and if they've used "redaction" to white-on-white the sensitive bits it's even easier to pull out the high value details within. preaching to the choir here, i was more interested in critical infrastructure at the time, rather than political or other cruft. yet the principal is the same for WL or whoever.
