WikiLeaks Under Denial of Service Attack

Posted by samzenpus on from the good-timing dept.

wiredmikey writes "WikiLeaks has reported that its Web site is currently under a mass distributed denial of service attack. The attack comes around the time of an expected release of classified State Department documents, which the Obama administration says will put 'countless' lives at risk, threaten global counterterrorism operations and jeopardize US relations with its allies."

    What about CO2 emissions per square kilometer, I would prefer that metric used rather than encouraging over population.

    GP got a +5 interesting mod for making up a story and claiming that "this is how diplomacy works". A rational person can't believe that U.S. diplomats are taking part in widespread corruption and then documenting it in official files that go to their superiors and the Library of Congress.

    Please don't moderate these people any higher.
