Cyberactivists unblock Wikileaks for Thai Netizens

BANGKOK -- A group of anonymous Internet activists has set up a website to display information about Thailand that comes from the whistle-blower site Wikileaks, which is blocked to some viewers in the Southeast Asian country.

The group calling itself "Wikicong" said Friday it set up the thaileaks.info site as "a tool to break the censorship" - an apparent reference to alleged efforts by the Thai government to block access to the material, which includes a private video of the country's Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn.

Some access to the main Wikileaks site has been blocked in Thailand since at least late June. It has been accessible, however, using some variants of the domain name, and through some local Internet service providers.

Wikileaks drew worldwide publicity in late July when it posted a huge trove of secret U.S. military documents about the war in Afghanistan.

3. Yep, I'm afraid the false "rape" accusations are going to dwarf any good news for awhile.

I only hope Julian Assange has contingency plans in place to pass the WikiLeaks torch in case he gets arrested/detained in Sweden and can't make bail.

It would be a shame if the Pentagon/CIA silenced WikiLeaks by decapitating its leadership.

On edit: I Rec'd your OP for a +2 so far.
