Internet hacktivists have now taken down Visa.com in retaliation for it closing business with Wikileaks. The hacktivists took down Mastercard.com earlier and have plans to take down Amazon and Paypal as well.

hahaha, well it nice to throw rocks at the tanks of economy every now and again...
Don't call it childish nonetheless...the motive and things they stand for (in their opinion are right), and it's not like you can do anything else really, right?

What probably happened is it was consensual...like Kobe. (yes everyone...FLAME ON!) and saw he was famous, so now this chick filed for sexual assault charges.

The charges aren't rape, some charges of indecency filed by several different women... I believe one of them was asleep at the time...
I passed some of the protests about it where he was held on remand in London, most people were just there to see some of the celebrities that came to try and put up the bail money for him.
I believe strongly in Freedom of Information and freedom of speech, the thing is I don't think WikiLeaks is much more than a stunt.

I think it does; the attacks resulted in dozens of news articles read by people who probably won't know what a DDOS attack is and see a much greater issue than kicking and screaming. It would depend on the individual who reads those articles as to what statement they see depending on their perspective. You don't see a statement and I understand that.
