Wikileaks is currently crashing due to a cyber attack...I say "good for the hackers"...how about you?

Update:

ps to Daniel...even if it is the US Gov't, good for them. "Freedom of Speech" and the so-called "right to know" shouldn't trump national security.

    The new age of technology can be used for excellent information. However, I do not understand what good can come of this latest leaked information. It will only serve to further embarass us in the World community. How bad do people really need to know this information? Not me. Other domestic issues are WAY more important.

    I would have thought the hackers would have been on the side of Wikileaks, since the government is threatening to shut the site down, and regulate the internet with the shut-down of torrent sites, etc. I really don't think it is hackers, but government hackers, trying to make it look like the "people" want Wikileaks stopped, not the government.

    most of the information is available elsewhere now, so it really doesn't matter, and I never approve of hackers for any reason

    If America was smart, they would have hired him the first time he leaked out information.
