Wikileaks

And now for something pretty unique, yet inevitable considering the direction the web is going in, connecting people and offering everyone a chance to voice their opinions and air their grievances. Wikileaks is offering an open forum for leakers to leak sensitive information and for the entire world to analyze and comment on it.
"Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interests are oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to those in the west who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their own governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact; this means our interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by non-technical people. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources."
