Wikipedia explains it thus: "Wikileaks is a website that publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive governmental, corporate, or religious documents, while attempting to preserve the anonymity and untraceability of its contributors. Within one year of its December 2006 launch, its database had grown to more than 1.2 million documents.[1] Wikileaks runs on modified MediaWiki software." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks Listen to Jacob Applebaum, giving a very brief introduction to this amazing project ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWxq9O1GYf0&feature=channel_page Some of its "notable" leaks are as follows: ? ?Bank Julius Baer lawsuit ? ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Bank_Julius_Baer_lawsuit ? ?Guant?namo Bay procedures ? ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Guant.C3.A1namo_Bay_procedures ? ?Scientology ? ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Scientology ? ?Hack of Sarah Palin's Yahoo account ? ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Hack_of_Sarah_Palin.27s_Yahoo_account ? ?BNP membership list ? ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#BNP_membership_list ? ?Internal UN reports ? ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Internal_UN_reports ? ?Congressional Research Service reports ? ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Congressional_Research_Service_reports Check out Wikileaks here: http://www.wikileaks.org/ And take this quote from Britannia Radio: "Wikileaks has released over 600 United Nations investigative reports, over 70 of which are classified. The reports expose sensitive matters from allegations of hundreds of European peace-keepers sexually abusing--and impregnating--refugee girls, to generals in Peru using Swiss bank accounts to engage in multi-million dollar procurement fraud." Thanks to Jacob Appelbaum for putting this on the agenda!
