i wonder who is really ahead, people like assange or the hacker underground from which he comes, or these state information technology operations: 

The main WikiLeaks site, originally hosted by Bahnhof, was hit by a denial-of-service attack on Sunday that knocked it offline, hours before publishing more than 250,000 United States embassy cables.

stuxnet was a state information operation. i think maybe they're at the point of harassing wikileaks, but i guess they don't have quite the boldness or hypocrisy (or the ability?) just to bomb it out of existence.
