WikiLeaks
Updated: Dec. 1, 2010
Once-fringe Web site WikiLeaks, which aims to bring to light secret information about governments and corporations, was founded three years ago by Julian Assange, an Australian activist and journalist, along with a group of like-minded activists and computer experts.
Since then, WikiLeaks has published tens of thousands of classified military field reports about the Iraq and Afghan wars; a mass of some 250,000 diplomatic cables from the State Department in Washington including communications concerning American policy in Iran, Pakistan, Korea and many other places; documents about toxic dumping in Africa, protocols from Guantánamo Bay, e-mail messages from Sarah Palin’s personal account and 9/11 pager messages.
WikiLeaks’ critics range from the military, which says it jeopardizes operations, to some open government advocates who say the organization is endangering the privacy rights of others in favor of self promotion.
The Army has charged Pfc. Bradley Manning with disclosing a classified video of an American helicopter attack to WikiLeaks, as well as more than 150,000 classified diplomatic cables. The private is also the main suspect in the disclosure to WikiLeaks of more than 90,000 classified documents about the Afghan war.
