For over two years now I’ve been kept an interest in a once-obscure online project to give whistle-blowers a venue to leak classified information to journalists and the whole World Wide Web alike.

Currently “Wikileaks” is a name with ubiquitous recognition, and a subject that nearly everyone has an opinion on (even if that opinion is “I wish people would stop talking about it”). Its affairs have also become an excellent opportunity for public discussion about the politics, evolution, and ownership of the Internet.
