WikiLeaks Defectors: Rival Site Imminent

In taking down Julian Assange, the U.S. might be completely missing the point. Unhappy with the WikiLeaks figurehead’s autocratic leadership style—and ironically, lack of transparency—a group of disgruntled WikiLeaks employees are deserting to start a competitor website called Openleaks. In contrast to WikiLeaks, which hosts leaked information on its own site, Openleaks will act as an intermediary between whistleblowers and the media. The site is expected to go live Monday.
