The twitterverse exploded with accusations that Amazon caved to political pressure and stopped hosting http://cablegate.wikileaks.org. If you'll remember, on Sunday, the site was taken offline with a DDoS attack (where thousands of machines flood a victim with requests). Therefore, Wikileaks moved to Amazon's "cloud" servers, which should be immune to DDoS. However, Wednesday morning, Amazon canceled the account, and Wikileaks had to move back it's original servers.

So, I thought I’d write up yet again why Wikileaks sucks.
