Many people haven't heard about Wikileaks - which is a pity, as it worthy of its name in revealing, documents, mostly classified, of Governments and corporations.
It's been too effective it would seem, as now the US is snooping on the owner of Wikileaks. Only problem is that the efforts of the CIA compare with those of the Keystone Cops. And there is a motive, too, it would seem for the CIA's actions.
The Guardian reports in "Wikileaks in the Crosshairs":
"As far as "national security threats" go, real or imagined, it's likely that few Americans lose much sleep over Wilkileaks, the website that publishes anonymously sourced documents which governments, corporations, and other private or powerful organisations would rather you not see. It would appear the US security apparatus does not feel the same way.
On Friday of last week, editor and co-founder Julian Assange posted a letter to the site detailing a laundry list of rather Keystone Kop-like instances of surveillance of himself and other members of the Wikileaks team, likely carried out at least in part by members of the US intelligence or law enforcement community:
"We have discovered half a dozen attempts at covert surveillance in Reykjavik both by native English speakers and Icelanders. On the occasions where these individuals were approached, they ran away."
