Glenn Greenwald has the story over at salon.com.
Wikileaks is, in my opinion, one of the most important developments on the internet pretty much since ever. It's certainly a lot more important than, say, Youtube - though obviously not nearly as ubiquitous. It provides a commodity that is increasingly scarce in this age of overinformation: Truth.
So this doesn't surprise me in the least. In fact, it's not the first time a Wikileak volunteer has been harassed by a government agency. I hope that Julian Assange doesn't let this intimidation stop him from continuing his work on the site, though he may wish to adopt a more decentralized management scheme from here on out.
