Wikileaks – the website that publishes leaked reports and documents from government, military and other authority sources – is as secretive a setup as the work it carries out.
No one knows where the site’s servers are and the domain owner, who lives in Kenya, doesn’t control the site’s activities.
But the site thrives on this secrecy and is flying the flag for freedom of information and investigative journalism.
