This could be a very good idea.
Excerpt:Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interests are oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to those in the west who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their own governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact; this means our interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by non-technical people. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources.
Or a very bad idea. Hard to tell.

Sounds like a great idea if you want to destroy someone.
Lash up a few forged docs, do the hatchet job, no comebacks.
Two legs Bad.

That's why I thought it could be a BAD idea.

As with all weapons and tools, there are good things that could be done with them and bad.

Let's hope the good outweighs the bad. This might be a way for people in countries with internet blocks to actually get more information out about what's happening, without being picked up by the police.
