Ruling in Wikileaks case: a narrow victory

By Josh Mitteldorf

Wikileaks.org is a web site designed to make it safe for whistleblowers to disclose anonymously information about criminal behavior to which they are privy. After a lawsuit last month, a court order shut down the entire site! Now the order has been appealed, and the site has permission to re-open. All this attention has given invaluable publicity to the operation.
