As you might expect, there’s always some wag happy to try and fill the information vacuum…

WikiLeaks angered the United States in 2010 by publishing hundreds of thousands of classified documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a huge cache of US diplomatic cables that embarrassed governments worldwide.

The group’s founder, Julian Assange, has been holed up in Ecuador’s embassy in London for more than two years as he fights sexual abuse charges.

This evening’s announcement comes on the eve of the first anniversary former US soldier Chelsea Manning’s conviction on espionage charges.
