Nice place for a leak

Psst! Want to blab a secret? And I don't mean any old secret like the affair you had with the girl in accounts, your secret tryst with the milkman or that time you nicked a tube of Smarties from the corner shop.

No, we're talking about seriously classified government info - like the classified footage of the 'friendly fire' incident that killed a British soldeir in Iraq.

Well a new website called Wikileaks claims to provide a service where whistle blowers can safely upload secret documents without fear of being traced. By March, the site claims it will have more than a million leaked documents from governments and corporations in Asia, the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa and the former Soviet bloc available for download.
