Are You a Journalist or Blogger? Ever wanted to get ahead of the curve of the main stream media outlets without ever leaving your home?

 

Wikileaks.org is a website that provides heavily scrutinized sensitive material for the global public to examiine and disseminate. They believe that "it is not only the people of one country that keep their government honest, but also the people of other countries who are watching that government." This new age form of transperancy in governent activities leads to reduced corruption, better government and stronger democracies. All governments can benefit from increased scrutiny by the world community, as well as their own people. We believe this scrutiny requires information. Historically that information has been costly - in terms of human life and human rights. But with technological advances - the internet, and cryptography - the risks of conveying important information can be lowered.

 

 Visitors are allowed to submit or view leaked documents as well as report on them in order to disseminate the information.  For Example, some of the recently leaked material includes:
