Facebook Moderator Gets Subpoena in Wikileaks Case

netbuzz writes "Lawyers for the Swiss bank that got the plug pulled on Wikileaks.org have dragged a Stanford grad student/human rights activist into the case because he moderated a discussion group about Wikileaks on Facebook. He has no relation to Wikileaks or the case, other than that he helped authenticate documents — completely unrelated to the bank matter — that were posted on Wikileaks. The guy and his lawyer have done a nice job of making lemonade out of this lemon, though."

    I say that it only counts with horse-shoes, handgrenades, thermonuclear weapons, and the mars rover lifespan estimates.

    My son will probably say "Close only counts with... umm, hold on, let me look it up."
