Leaks



Our friends at the Pirate Bay are apparently behind the new wiki-style site wikileaks which allows the dissemination of classified documents pertaining to governments and corporations. It encourages whisteblowers to pass on information, promising anonymous, untraceable uploads.

It launched in late 2006 and gained big hits when it posted the SOP's for the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp.

It is sites like this that are truly making the internet an absolutely essential alternative to mainstream media.

A quick perusal through some of the other docs is scary and infuriating.
