Wikileaks - We help you safely Get the Truth ! Note : The Article is Taken from "The Hacker News Magazine" - June Edition. Download Magazine here .. The United States Department of Justice has left no stone unturned in their ruthless attempts to uncover or fabricate evidence against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

Bradley Manning is nothing more than an attempt to "terrorize whistle-blowers" and that Pvt. Manning like himself is a victim of alleged government repression and mistreatment. "There is no doubt t...
