Amazon pulled the plug on hosting WikiLeaks today amidst increasing political pressure.

The Associated Press reports:

Amazon.com Inc. forced WikiLeaks to stop using the U.S. company's computers to distribute embarrassing State Department communications and other documents, WikiLeaks said Wednesday.

The ouster came after congressional staff had questioned Amazon about its relationship with WikiLeaks, said Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut.

WikiLeaks confirmed it hours after The Associated Press reported that Amazon's servers had stopped hosting WikiLeaks' site. The site was unavailable for several hours before it moved back to its previous Swedish host, Bahnhof

.

WikiLeaks tweeted in response: "WikiLeaks servers at Amazon ousted. Free speech the land of the free--fine our $ are now spent to employ people in Europe," and later, "If Amazon are so uncomfortable with the first amendment, they should get out of the business of selling books."

Re: Wikileaks releases new documents

Most likely it is true. Sounds like Armenia was being used to transfer Russian made weapons to Iran. The US picked up on this, warned Armenia and it stopped. From some of the other links, it appears that the US wanted to train Azeri units to create problems in Northern Iran.

If you ask the Azeris they will say Iran is supplying Armenia with weapons.
There we go. Take your pick.

Oh wait, do they mean it happened without the knowledge of the Armenian government? That they're not doing enough to police what's shipping in and out?

Re: Wikileaks releases new documents

Sounds like it wasn't true since Sargsian denied it and nothing else became of the issue. What would Armenia even gain by doing anything like that, makes no sense.

The Secretary discussed our concerns with President Sargsian on the margins of the UN General Assembly, but he denied any transfer occurred.
