WikiLeaks to Stop Publishing

Julian Assange is putting down his whistle. WikiLeaks, his secret-spilling website, said Monday that it will stop publishing documents in order to focus on getting its financial house in order. Ever since the transparency gadfly exposed hundreds of thousands of sensitive U.S. State Department cables, WikiLeaks has been blacklisted by financial companies such as MasterCard and PayPal. As a result, the statement read, it must “aggressively fundraise in order to fight back against this blockage and its proponents.”
