Honestly, that's fairly thin. WL uses torrents and other means of disseminating data that don't rely on central control structures. Plus, presumably, WL has the ability to quickly shift data into secure hands who are willing to release it when things quiet down.
So, sure, the USA could go send someone to sieze the hard drives of someone who has confidential information. But, I have to imagine one of the first steps when getting that kind of information is to disseminate it to others (at least some of whom are unknown to the states). If they were hit, these people would very quickly take that as a signal to indiscriminately release all the information.
