There is a new website that has been causing several governments around the world major stress. Wikileaks as it is commnly known, is a website that publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of "confidential" corporate and governmental documents. Using Mediawiki software special care is taken to preserve the anonymity and tracebility of its contributers. The website was created in December 2006 by a Sweden based internet service provider compan. Since then its database of leaked documents has grown to over 1.2 million. Some its most notorious being the Guantanamo Bay Report and on 31 August 2007, The Guardian newspaper featured on its front page a story about corruption by the family of the former Kenyan leader Daniel Arap Moi. They claim their source of the information was Wikileaks on The looting of Kenya under President Moi.
Several governaments have tried to draw the blinds to their citizens for example the Chinense goverenment has tried desperate;y to censor every URL with the word "wikileaks" in it. Another website Wikileaks.org contains a series of articles against Wikilinks and outlines several problems with the tell tale website.
