Remember my recent blogpost, Iceland's Modern Media Initiative, where Iceland, in cooperation with Wikileaks was to become the world's answer to corporate media i.e. a real news outlet? @Wikileaks announced on Mar 21 its intentions 'to reveal Pentagon murder-coverup at US National Press Club, Apr 5, 9am.' It appears that, following WIKILEAKS's announcement, someone from the State Department/CIA decided to visit them, by 'following/photographing/filming/detaining' an editor for 22 hours. Apparently, the offending leak is unencrypted video footage of a US airstrike."
I was hoping it would be unencrypted FBI-confiscated footage of whatever hit the Pentagon on 9-11, but you can't have everything...
Here's a relevant video of ex-hacker Julian Assage, one of the five full-time people who run WIKILEAKS, giving a presentation at HITB SecConf 2009 in Malaysia.
