Wikileaks have been under assault from many angles over the last few days.

I work part-time in substance misuse clinics in the North of England. Over the last few days, I've noticed lots of people coming in with problems that they didn't have before. Many people who had been using heroin, some of them for a long time, had been getting into unexpected problems caused by lack of availability of the drug at street-level.

14 anarchists arrested accused of "terrorism" by the Chilean state, around the mediatic "Bombs case", 10 are still in the Maximun Security Prisons, under Pinochet's ani-terrorist law.
