Whistleblowing website vows to defy court gag
An international website that claims to blow the whistle on corporate and governmental fraud vowed yesterday to defy attempts by a US court to close it down. Wikileaks allows whistleblowers to anonymously post documents in an attempt to expose corruption and wrongdoing. Its owners said yesterday that a Californian judge had ordered that the site be taken offline last week, after an injunction from a Swiss bank....
Last week a Californian district court judge, Jeffrey White, accepted the bank's injunction without amendment and also ordered Dynadot, the site's domain registry, to delete all record of the address from the central internet domain registry. Wikileaks' founders said the US court's move breached the first amendment.
Oh, Judge White, he's a Bush/Cheney administration appointee who has ruled against San Francisco's Healthcare program in December thereby denying 82,000 people insurance coverage. On the other hand he allowed a case dealing with global warming to continue in opposition to the Bush/Cheney administration's wishes.
