It appears that WikiLeaks is closed until Monday 11th Jan:

The content of the ste is YouTube video link and instructions how to support them.

But what happened in Feb '09:

"What’s Wikileaks, the net’s foremost document leaking site, supposed to do when a whistle-blower submits
a list of email addresses belonging to the site’s confidential donors as a leaked document?

That’s exactly the conundrum Wikileaks faced this week after someone from the controversial whistle-blowing site sent 
an emergency
fund-raising appeal on Saturday to previous donors.
But instead of hiding email addresses from the recipients by using the bcc field,
the sender put 58 addresses into the cc field, revealing all the addresses to all the recipients."
