==Cyber Assault==
After the release of the U.S. military Iraq files, there have been calls for an electronic offensive against the organization. In August 2010, [[Pentagon]] press secretary Geoff Morrell left open the possibility of offensive action against WikiLeaks. In October 2010, Adm. [[Mike Mullen]], chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sent a note out through [[Twitter]] saying: "Another irresponsible posting of stolen classified documents by WikiLeaks puts lives at risk and gives adversaries valuable information." <ref>[http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20020835-38.html Has WikiLeaks landed in cyberattack crosshairs? CNET, October 27, 2010]</ref> The Washington Times calls Wikileaks "threat to U.S. national security" and "should be treated accordingly." Not only is Wikileaks a threat to our troops on the battlefield, it is a threat to people and families cooperating with the United States. Our enemies are learning how the military operates. Current Wikileak documents are hosted on [[Amazon.com]] servers in Ireland and Octopuce servers in France. Earlier in 2010, their servers were located in [[Iceland]].
