Don't Leak to the Wall Street Journal's New Wikileaks Knockoff
http://j.mp/jejyng (Gawker)
The Wall Street Journal is trying to make a play for whistleblowers
with its very own Wikileaks clone, SafeHouse. But SafeHouse is the
opposite of safe, thanks to basic security flaws and fine print that
lets the Journal rat on leakers.

I agree. The site is so bad that it's hard to believe it isn't meant
as a joke. Don't touch it with a 10 foot pole, a 25 foot Ethernet
cable, or any bodily part that you care about.
