And as a follow-up, will you send WikiLeaks an email asking them to do the same with the version mirrored at Cryptome.wikileaks.org/frontpage ? Course not - because the whole thing is ridiculous. Paranoia is poison when it's out of proportion, and the computing power needed to fake the files, hashes and cryptographic signatures is WAY out of proportion to any gain from it, which is hypothetical at best.
