The Pentagon has been accused of spying on a whistleblower website that specialises in leaking top secret documents. The US Army has already labeled the website as a security threat. Now Wikileaks – which won Amnesty Internationals news media award last year – has issued a statement claiming its editors are being investigated: WikiLeaks is currently under an aggressive US and Icelandic surveillance operation, – the claim published on Tweeter said.

WikiLeaks has built their reputation of breaking extremely important stories, so it’s hard to put a conspiracy theory label on this story. Given the fact that the CIA is involved, we should be watching this story closely. We’ll have to wait to find out on April 5th what’s going on.

You can follow what’s happening on WikiLeaks’ twitter account or their website. If you feel so inclined, you can donate to WikiLeaks here (scroll to the bottom of the page).
