Again I don't know about Wikileaks' methods but I'm guessing it's not illegal like NOTW's since they're still standing.
People leaking sensitive information is different to an outside source hacking their way in and taking it for themselves.

ic, so you agree with bradley manning being being shut down like the NOTW, but let jullian assange continue parading around like the paris hilton of the hacker world?
