I RTFA. It was lame. I don't see the half-truths or the lies, and of course BJB isn't going to affirm/deny the validity of the documents in question, as that would just disclose more info on their client's business.

They tried to serve Wikileaks with a notice, and Wikileaks was rude and evasive. So the nuclear option, pulling the DNS was about all they had available to them. This isn't censorship, as the government isn't doing it. Nor ir it prior restraint on publication. What's the big deal? Do the haters think people have the right to publish anything on the 'net, no matter how false or scurrilous, without any repercussions whatsoever??
