Per Court Order: Wikileaks Shutdown
Wikileaks.org is/was a website that allowed whistle-blowers to anonymously post government and corporate documents online. Per a court order, it has been shutdown, and I can’t say I am sorry to hear that:
“This spectacular 2,000 page US military leak consists of the names, group structure and equipment registers of all units in Iraq with US army equipment . It exposes secretive document exploitation centers, detainee operations, elements of the State Department, Air Force, Navy and Marines units, the Iraqi police and coalition forces from Poland, Denmark, Ukraine, Latvia, Slovakia, Romania, Armenia, Kazakhstan and El Salvador. The material represents nearly the entire order of battle for US forces in Iraq and is the first public revelation of many of the military units described. Among other matters it shows that the United States has almost certainly violated the Chemical Weapons Convention.”
