Wikileaks Plug Pulled

Wikileaks.org, a site that provided placement for document leaking and whistleblowing, has been shut down by order of a California court due to a lawsuit filed by a Swiss bank which had documents given to the site that reveal practices of money laundering and tax evasion through offshore dirty dealings.
The data isn't gone (the BBC story I read said that other countries' Wikileaks were still up and running), in which case it is only a matter of time before the site gets a new home in some form or another. Long live the hydra.
