This is of course a hot story and I know people will post about it but I'm asking everyone to limit their stories to just stuff from the New York Times or The Guardian.
Anything else and it may be deleted.
Thx.

Just a note, the WikiLeaks [dot]org was shut down, but it's back up as a [dot]ch domain name.
[dot]ch is China.

No, .ch is Switzerland.

May I ask why? Do you mean no one should link to Wikileaks itself, but CNN and similar news outlets are allowed? I don't understand why it's just the NYT and Guardian.

Legal issues. Pissed off government. Lots of words. Shut the website down. Yadda yadda yadda.May I ask why? Do you mean no one should link to Wikileaks itself, but CNN and similar news outlets are allowed? I don't understand why it's just the NYT and Guardian.

So why not CNN, Fox News, and others? Or am I misunderstanding and SR is referring to original Wikileaks material published by the New York Times, the Guardian, Der Spiegel, Le Monde and El Pais?

Because that is the information that was passed to us by official sources. Op Ed peices discussing the leaks are fine, but anything that actually referrences the leaks specifically must come from those sites or will be deleted.

I see. I'm guessing it's for accuracy's sake.

I really don't think we should any of us be party to posting specifics from those documents myself . . . . Why would any of us want to contribute to what amounts to treason and espionage??
