I've finally taken some time to look into Wikileaks.org -- and boy, does it take some time to look into, thanks to page-loading speeds that would make a tortoise proud.

I don't see any mechanism for registering an account with the site, and therefore, I wonder whether there is any "community" editing going on. It appears that there is, but there's no "edit" function. So, are the various IPs that are editing Wikileaks all "insider" accounts that have been granted access to the edit button? I don't quite get it.

Out of all the hoopla and the rest, am I the only one who's only impression over this whole matter is that the WikiLeaks guy looks really, really creepy?

Just the image of him shuts off my brain's ability to really think about the rest. His look is almost horror movie kinda weird.

You're probably thinking he looks like Angus Scrimm, aka "The Tall Man" from the Phantasm movies.

Which he does, sort of... (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/blink.gif)
