SOLNA, Sweden -- A Swedish Internet company linked to file-sharing hub The Pirate Bay says it's helping online whistle-blower WikiLeaks release classified documents from servers located in a Stockholm suburb.
Mikael Viborg, the owner of the Web hosting company PRQ, on Friday showed The Associated Press the site -- the basement of a drab office building -- in Solna on the condition that the exact location was not revealed.

I don't get why people are so mad at WikiLeaks, they're no different than The Washington Post or The New York Times when they get their hands on classified material.
If more examples were made of people who leak this information (I don't think anyone who is caught leaking such information ever gets punished) then we'd see less of it.
Obviously Bammy doesn’t care.
Good luck with that. I hope the CIA sends some very scary men after your big dumb a**** real soon.
you cannot unrelease something on the Internet, so the damage was already done. plus the super encrypted insurance file has already spread around the world too.
The US Government doesn't necessarily know who leaked this information. It's widely assumed that it's Bradley Manning, who is already being prosecuted for providing other classified material to WikiLeaks. But, if they can link him to this latest leak, they aren't saying.
If more examples were made of people who leak this information (I don't think anyone who is caught leaking such information ever gets punished) then we'd see less of it.
People caught intentionally leaking classified information are prosecuted on a regular basis, and rarely get away with it unless they are politically connected.
From this perhaps we can deduce that no more birth certificate exists for Obama, or else Wikileaks might leak it.
Hunt down the perps, execute them.
The damage is done, the best you can do is make examples of these guys to deter the next piece of filth who decides he might want to play games.
Calling Mr. Predator: Readjust your coordinates and fly, baby, fly.
You know I’m not sure that’s such a good idea.
Yes, there are things that should be classified/secret; however there are a *lot* of things which are that really shouldn’t be.
Perhaps the best way to articulate my stance is to repeat the line officials & ‘friends’ will tell you if you come under investigation: If you were doing nothing wrong then you would have nothing to hide. Like all effective lies it has some grain of truth to it; but the reality is that so many things are ‘illegal’ today, in such convoluted ways, that you probably ARE [technically] guilty of felonies just by “living life.” { See the videos here: http://ualbertalaw.typepad.com/faculty/2009/04/should-you-talk-to-the-cops.html }
Groups, like governments, are inherently less moral than the men that comprise them. This is because the guilt for wrongdoing can be spread across several-people to such a degree that it doesn’t weigh enough to bother their consciences, whereas the same act done solely by a participating individual might crush him. This is also evidenced in the way that people in authority can pass the responsibility ad infinitum to wear you out when you find something wrong with “the system;” my State Constitution prohibits the “abridg[ing of] the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense[...]” yet there are state statutes that prohibit firearms, such as on campus [thus abridging the right of any citizen living in on-campus housing].
If our government was honest and deeply concerned about Justice and Righteousness then it wouldn’t scatter and get all excited — like cockroaches — when exposed by the light of Truth. Instead we have institutionalized corruption and outright politically-motivated denial-of-justice and a serious lack of responsibility/accountability. {Two words, one proof: “Social Security.”}
Amen. It’s only when we have a republican president that the elites say it is okay to leak classified information in the name of making government accountable. The current administration doesn’t want to be accountable and therefore leaks are bad for their posture.
We need to start a WikiBirther site.
Any one with access to Obamas files may send them to us.
I am sure liberals will appreciative our transparency too.
