Amazon stops hosting WikiLeaks site

(Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc has stopped hosting WikiLeaks' website, which posted thousands of classified U.S. government documents this week, U.S. Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman said on Wednesday.

The move comes after Lieberman's staff made inquiries to Amazon on Tuesday as reports surfaced that WikiLeaks had asked Amazon to host its website on the Amazon servers after hackers targeted the WikiLeaks site.

A representative for Amazon was not immediately available for comment.

I don't see any secretly posted cables on wikileaks.org. Do I look in the wrong place?

thanks for the link. I'm not surprised, because diplomacy was always very tricky. But I agree posting these documents might seriously harm the international relations.

Wikileaks.org traffic rank yesterday: 43. Above Myspace (56), lol.

It's simply why Amazon did it - they don't want to be DDOS'd. I wouldn't blame them.

But is that bad? Maybe its time we all know/see how these things work in international relations. And again it show the pure arrogance or most US politicians which harms the US more then these cables can do.

Where is Assange hiding lately?
They'll probably throw him into Guantanamo, soon.
