According to the secretary of defense, it's definitely a rumor:
A letter from Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates to
Comittee of Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin dated August 16 but
recently made available to the public says, “The initial assessment in
no way discounts the risk to national security; however, the review to
date has not revealed any sensitive intelligence sources and methods
compromised by this disclosure.”

This is a rumor. If you have proof that this is not a rumor,
please post it.

This will be my first and last post on this topic (again).
I've just finished watching some videos about what wikileaks
have been doing.
It appears that they released a bunch of documents that
revealed information such as GPS co-ords + details of those who co-op'd
with soldiers. He also posted the names of these people too, and a
bunch of information which could jeopardise the protection of soldiers
on the ground, from all countries.
I can appreciate his previous efforts, but what he has done
here is put many lifes at risk, both civilians and soldiers.
So, if the US military have launched an all our war on
Wikileaks, whether it be legal or not, I can't say it would be entirely
shocking.

Sorry to all of those who think this is "gossiping",
but:
Wikileaks has been down for ca. 2 weeks now during which time the US has
at least cut off their financial channels.
This during a period where WL has announced another major leak release
this time re. Iraq.
What is also extremely disconcerting is the absolute silence of _all_
main street media to the topic (gag...?)
Now the latest tweet reads:
"WikiLeaks communications infrastructure is currently under attack.
Project BO move to coms channel S. Activate Reston5."
Yet again I would like to pint out that there seems to be a concerted
high power attack going on against WL
And yet again I would like to point out it would be interesting to know
what is rally happening.
And yet again I'd like to emphasize that this indeed a security issue;
it does concern netizens and citizens in general if major government
organisations engage in what seems to be a dirty war against a
whistleblowing organisation.
If anybody knows more, pls. do share insights...
Harry
