Inside Wikileaks
Although it styles itself as a rag-tag organization, Wikileaks funds itself
through a system that is professionally designed to cover its tracks, sources of funding and modes of direction. The Wall Street Journal says "the controversial website WikiLeaks, which argues the cause of openness in leaking classified or confidential documents, has set up an elaborate global financial network to protect a big secret of its own -- its funding." Using methods familiar to sharp operators and money launderers, they've set up shell organizations in jurisdictions which prohibit disclosure; created levels of cutouts and cultivated unnamed private donors. Although the media describes Wikileaks as an idealistic, whistle-blowing organization it has the form, if not the function, of a criminal organization. -- Belmont Club » The Inner Circle
