Where's Wikileaks?
Maybe I'm a little out of the loop here, (My toddler learned to scale the baby gate to the upstairs, putting a dent in my readin' time) but last night I read this story about the Guantanamo "cookbook" being posted online.

The original source, Wikileaks.org, turns out to be this website where people can anonymously post whistleblower-type stories on the site.

Anyway, I go there tonight, and *poof*, "unable to locate"

WTF?

Anybody know? Couldja clue me in? Did the server fail, or is this the Night of the Long Knives? (just kidding; I hope)

1. I dunno.
I can't raise it, either. Could be server problems or something benign like that. Could be more serious. We'll have to keep trying.

2. I think they're just getting swamped.
I read a story about 'em posting a Gitmo manual this morning, and heard a story about 'em on NPR this evening. I go to log on, and can't get to them, though the Google cache is fine. I'm guessing they're just swamped because of all the media coverage.

4. That would do it.
I read about the Gitmo manual today, too. Yup.

3. servers are getting hammered
I got in right away yesterday after reading the same news, but I heard from someone today who could not get in at first. Later, he did.
