BBC NEWS | Technology | Whistle-blower site taken offline: "A controversial website that allows whistle-blowers to anonymously post government and corporate documents has been taken offline in the US.
Wikileaks.org, as it is known, was cut off from the internet following a California court ruling, the site says.
The case was brought by a Swiss bank after 'several hundred' documents were posted about its offshore activities."
