That document is useless unless the opposing side has an idea of what's in it. This may be a way to release it to ONLY the US Gov... very interesting.

Seems you didn't understand something... Assange DID NOT TRY to hide the contents of that file from the government. It was encrypted NOT against them, but against the others. As far as I know Assange gave them the key already to be sure they can decrypt and analyze it, because you need to have something really serious as an insurance. Of course there was no secrets for the US gov because it's THEIR OWN DATA. Thus it's very obvious that he made everything to let the govs to decrypt the file and think twice before to do something serious to him, because they will know WHAT EXACTLY everybody on the planet will know when the key will be published.
Very simple, isn't it?
