Not to promote equine defibrilation, but just so you all feel better -

http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/11/28/1947638/no-evidence-that-wikileaks-releases.html

summary: no one got hurt, and wikileaks lets the newspapers do the hard work
of redacting info that'd hurt individuals directly.

There has been no loss of lives. But s/lives/political careers/ is a different
matter, and might catalyse hyperbole that some are buying into.

OBONTOPIC: wikileaks has another DDOS going (real DDOS not plain DOS, apparently.)
