WikiLeaks is a bare-bones organization on a mission to root out the secrets of the high and mighty, from Sarah Palin to the Church of Scientology. Its founder, Julian Assange, said his group's biggest coup so far — the publication of tens of thousands of classified U.S. military reports on Afghanistan — will likely unleash a new wave of leaks.

LONDON (AFP) – The Labour party has suspended a candidate ahead of the May 6 general election, it said Monday, after he boasted about his sex life online.
