The site, Wikileaks.org, invites people to post leaked materials with the goal of discouraging â€oeunethical behavior” by corporations and governments. It has posted documents said to show the rules of engagement for American troops in Iraq, a military manual for the operation of the detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and other evidence of what it has called corporate waste and wrongdoing.
On Friday 15 Feb 2008, Judge Jeffrey S. White of Federal District Court in San Francisco granted a permanent injunction ordering Dynadot, the siteâ€s domain name registrar, to disable the Wikileaks.org domain name. The order had the effect of locking the front door to the site â€" a largely ineffectual action that kept back doors to the site, and several copies of it, available to sophisticated Web users who knew where to look."
