Wikileaks under legal assault

Xeni Jardin 9:49 am Sun Nov 28, 2010

Wikileaks may be under denial-of-service attack this morning, in advance of the whopper diplomatic cables release—but according to this legal complaint filed by a gentleman in Kentucky who used his "credit card to pay for Dick Cheney's heart surgery" and "had a sexual affair with Barack Obama," they now have far greater problems. As you can see from the legal complaint, he's not messing around: he "taught Assange how to hack," and previously sued Hurricane Ike. The plaintiff is currently incarcerated in a federal prison that houses mentally ill inmates.
