Amazon censors Wikileaks Cablegate site

After pressure from homeland security, Amazon.com has pulled the Wikileaks Cablegate site from its servers. Joe Lieberman said: "[Amazon's] decision to cut off WikiLeaks now is the right decision and should set the standard for other companies WikiLeaks is using to distribute its illegally seized material. I call on any other company or organisation that is hosting WikiLeaks to immediately terminate its relationship with them."
