Even if the United States or Sweden succeeds in arresting and imprisoning Julian Assange, there is little his enemies can do to halt the world of online whistle-blowing that he has created. Assange has spawned an idea, one which will now be copied by volunteers all over the world. As a web entity, WikiLeaks is virtually impossible to destroy. It is staffed by volunteers who know as much about the methods used to take down a website as those who might be plotting to do just that. The two "distributed denial of service" attacks on WikiLeaks this week have given us an indication of how they prepare for pre-emptive strikes. As soon as the...
