Hackers Target WikiLeaks Foes

Supporters of Wikileaks called on hackers to take down internet companies that are refusing to do business with them. Paypal, Amazon, and everyDNS.net (which Wikileak had an account with) suspended Wikileaks accounts due to violation of terms. Wikileaks says "we all believe information should be free, and the internet should be free".

I believe that Wikileaks has all the right in the world to publish the documents that they do. I think that everybody has the right to say whatever they want and also on the internet.
