Wikileaks Down

Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks is down, users are reporting.

The site's outage comes a day after it published over 90,000 classified military documents on the Afghanistan war.

Many on Twitter noted Wikileaks' downtime:

@sethodell: Looks like @wikileaks site is completely down. Wonder if it's due to today's surge in traffic, or something else entirely?

@Sock_De_Jour: Wikileaks site is down. Pentagon hacking it? Or too much traffic? #p2

The website "Down For Everyone Or Just Me" confirmed the site's outage, as did Wikileaks via its official Twitter feed.

@Wikileaks directed users to another site:

WikiLeaks is tremendously overloaded. Please use http://bit.ly/9RlJQAless than a minute ago via bitlyWikiLeaks

Mitchell Bard: Is WikiLeaks' Release of the War Logs Afghanistan's Cronkite Moment?

There comes a time when you have to recognize when something isn't working. It's not just the War Logs, but how they crystallize lessons we have been learning over the last year in Afghanistan.

David Reidy: How Much Influence Does the U.S. Have in Afghanistan?

COIN doctrine cannot be implemented according to any book, and the notion that there is a "right" way to do COIN which guarantees success is a fallacy.
