Amazon.com stops hosting WikiLeaks on its servers

WikiLeaks has lost the love of Amazon.com.

The online bookseller, which also provides Web services, had been hosting WikiLeaks on its servers. After an inquiry Tuesday afternoon from an aide to Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.), it stopped.

"I wish that Amazon had taken this action earlier based on WikiLeaks' previous publication of classified material," Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said in a statement. But, he added, "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."
