Wikileaks Funding Plan Could Be Risky

,----[ Quote ]
| The open-source whistleblower site, Wikileaks, 
| which according to The National has âproduced 
| more scoops in its short life than the 
| Washington Post has in the past 30 years,â has 
| temporarily and voluntarily suspended its own 
| service.
| 
| The staff of Wikileaks is making a direct plea 
| on the Website for financial assistance, with 
| a slogan proclaiming: âWe protect the World - 
| will you protect us?â

WikiLeaks.org applies for $532,000 funding from the Knight Foundation -
for "local news" whistleblower leaks ?

,----[ Quote ]
| WikiLeakS.org has applied for a grant from
| the Knight Foundation a charitable
| foundation financed from the former
| Knight-Ridder US newspaper conglomerate.
|
| Do not confuse this with the recently
| revived 1980's fictional Knight Rider TV
| series featuring a supposedly artificially
| intelligent car, which starred David
| Hasselhoff.

Wikileaks is in trouble.

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite frequent press confusion, Wikileaks
| is nothing to do with Wikimedia at all â
| âwikiâ is a generic term for âmass-editable
| websiteâ and they use MediaWiki, but
| thereâs no connection.
