From what I can grok this is not what I was looking for, but it IS avaluable tool.
What I'm talking about, I think, would be better in certain scenarios, as a rubber-hose-holder can be made to THINK they have the real data, whereas in reality they have a clever fake. (eg, instead of the real Cypherpunks wanted list, they have Tim May's fake one...of course, another possibility would be to have a big jpg of a hand with middle finger extended...) More than this, they will have unknowingly destroyed the real data. (Perhaps a 3rd key is needed that DOESN'T destroy the original data, just 'hides' it a la Rubberhose.)
And of course, we'd like to be able to do this on a message-by-message basis.

Rubberhose
by Julian Assange, Ralf P. Weinmann and Suelette Dreyfus
http://www.rubberhose.org/
Rubberhose transparently and deniably encrypts disk data, minimising the
effectiveness of warrants, coersive interrogations and other compulsive
mechanims, such as U.K RIP legislation. Rubberhose differs from conventional
disk encryption systems in that it has an advanced modular architecture,
self-test suite, is more secure, portable, utilises information hiding
(steganography / deniable cryptography), works with any file system and has
source freely available. Currently supported ciphers are DES, 3DES, IDEA, RC5,
RC6, Blowfish, Twofish and CAST.
