Comprehensive Wikileaks Timeline

from: Read Write Web

As mentioned before, "Wikileaks was not a story, but an ongoing continuum of stories . . . It's a story that is destined to keep on giving." In that short time since that post, it has indeed done just that.

In lieu of summing up a situation that has not come to a tidy conclusion, we have put together a full timeline of Wikileaks news and analysis from our site. Read through from our earliest coverage (February, 2008) to our most recent (today) and you should have a reasonably complete sense of why Wikileaks is important.

This is another one of WikiLeak's stories.

They are being sued and attacked from every direction but still make it their business to leak confidential  and often extremely sensitive documents.
Such as again today, read the New York Times article below. It's mind-blowing.

WASHINGTON — A cache of a quarter-million confidential American diplomatic cables, most of them from the past three years, provides an unprecedented look at back-room bargaining by embassies around the world, brutally candid views of foreign leaders and frank assessments of nuclear and terrorist threats.
