Yeah, Wikileaks had some kind of Amazon account that you could donate money to in order to support their cause and help defend them in court cases. This was suspended by Amazon. They had threatened to attack them, but I think called it off because they couldn't manage it some such.

Perhaps they changed their mind to tonight because they knew that there would already be a huge amount of traffic to the sites from shoppers. I myself was just trying to do a Xmas order!

Not quite - their site was hosted with Amazons distributed/cloud servers and they pulled the plug for breaching TOS/government pressure.

Besides, it isn't anon (cf. IRC).
 
The minute people begin to be inconvenienced by actions related to Wikileaks is the time when any public support they have will begin to disappear....

The crackers/hackers or cyber-terrorists/freedom fighters or whatever you wish to call them will only hurt wikileaks in the long run.

They would be better off targeting .gov sites.

It doesn't appear to be them.

Not that it matters. The press will be all over it in a few hours.
