Cyber leakers now have a place to go Web site says goal is better government

Washington — Secretive governments may have met their nemesis.
A new online effort called Wikileaks seeks not only to archive hot tips and documents that reveal government corruption and questionable policies, but also to encourage them.
Asserting that leaking government information is the “most cost-effective means of promoting good government” around the world, Wikileaks is seeking any and all leaks.
Taking a page from the Wikipedia online encyclopedia, an information respository and exchange maintained by its users, Wikileaks promises to be a vehicle for “untraceable mass document leaking and analysis,” according to its Web site. The focus is on releasing information in places not known for heralding the public’s right to know: China, Russia, Africa and the Middle East.
“But we also expect to be of assistance to those in the West who wish to reveal unethical behavior of their own governments and corporations,” the site states.
The need for a site where people can post information about government corruption without fear of reprisal is apparent, said Sue Dreyfus, an advisory board member. The site has not yet listed other board members, but it says it was founded and partly funded by dissidents, mathematicians and technologists across the globe.

The sooner the better. I look forward to the morning Bill Keller’s(spit) mutilated traitor rat carcass is found hanging 3 stories from the roof of the ‘Red Rag Hag’.
Right next to Sulzberger and the rest of board of directors.
