Curious if anyone in class has come across this site before. They have been in some of the alternative press quite a lot lately.

Here is a link from boingboing.net with some related stories about government efforts at shutting them down.

From the article: "The Wikileaks website was established to allow participants to anonymously disclose documents of public interest, including materials discussing such issues of national importance as U.S. Army operations at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, human rights abuses in China, and political corruption in Kenya."

I have only just recently come across the site and am not that familiar with it. But find this flurry of activity around it via lawsuits and counter suits interesting.
