[IMC-UK-Features] feature proposal: Wikileaks censored by US Court

[freethepeeps at aktivix.org]

Hi

This is more appropriate for an article than an IMC uk feature, so thats an
objection from me.

Features: The features on the middle column of the IMC UK website reflect
postings to the newswire. Features are highlighting specific issues to make
them more accessible.
