Wikileaks, the anonymous whistle-blower website, has been faced with a legal 
injunction to be taken down by orders of US District Judge Jeffrey White. The 
website, which is devoted to battle against web censorship and for anonymity, 
published documents proving that a Swiss Bank - the Julius Baer Bank and 
Trust - engaged somewhat in money laundering and tax evasion via the Cayman 
Islands [Download Documents].  More reports: Slashdot | Wired | The 
Register .
If the bank tried to protect its reputation, it certainly backfired: 
Newsoutlets from all over the world report on the attempt to lock down the 
site with DDOS attacks and threat to its dns record. Wikileaks importance was 
proven recently when it leaked documents about conditions in prisons in Iraq 
and Guantanamo.
