Amazon.com No Longer a Home to WikiLeaks

Update: Shortly after this post published, WikiLeaks confirmed that Amazon.com has kicked it off its servers.

(CBS/AP) Wikileaks' members may not be invited to any State Department dinners anytime soon, and it appears they may be having trouble making friends online too.

The WikiLeaks website has left its U.S. Web host, Amazon.com, and moved back to a Swedish provider, the Associated Press reports.

It was unclear whether Amazon forced the site to leave or if it did so on its own. Neither side provided comment to the AP. 

Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman told Fox News that he was cheered by what he assumed was Amazon's action.

"The company's decision to cut off Wikileaks now is the right decision and should set the standard for other companies Wikileaks is using to distribute its illegally seized material," he said in a statement. "I call on any other company or organization that is hosting Wikileaks to immediately terminate its relationship with them."

The site, which just released a trove of sensitive U.S. State Department documents, took up residence on Amazon.com Inc.'s self-service Web servers after a rash of Internet-based attacks started Sunday against its regular Swedish host, Bahnhof.

The various attacks on and server changes for Wikileaks' two main websites--one hosts the U.S. Diplomatic Cables, the other the Iraq and Afghanistan war documents--have made access to the massive cache of government documents spotty.
