Whistle-blower site taken offline

A controversial website that allows whistle-blowers to anonymously post government and corporate documents has been taken offline in the US.

Wikileaks.org, as it is known, was cut off from the internet following a California court ruling, the site says.
The case was brought by a Swiss bank after "several hundred" documents were posted about its offshore activities.
Other versions of the pages, hosted in countries such as Belgium and India, can still be accessed.

anyone ever been to this site? :erm:

A couple of mirrors still are active:

http://cryptome.org/

I downloaded the Gitmo Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) manual when it was leaked there. Got too bored to get to anything too juicy though.

I'd perused a couple of things on there related to Northern Wreck a few weeks back. Nice publicity for them, though.

Also shows the futility of trying high-profile censorship in the internet age. It didn't even work in the 80s - even our local clergyman had a copy of Spycatcher.
