"It was inevitable, given the nature of the site, that the 'whistleblowing service' Wikileaks would find itself the 
subject of a legal injunction.

From the start, the site had readied itself by setting up servers in Belgium and India as well as the US but, as they 
said yesterday,
they "never expected to be using the alternative servers to deal with censorship attacks from, of all places, the 
United States".

The site was shut down by California district court judge Jeffrey White after Swiss investment bank Julius Baer issued 
an injunction;
the site had publishing several hundred pages of information that alleged the bank was involved in money laundering and 
tax evasion in the Cayman Islands."
