Mormon Church Goes After WikiLeaks 1172
An anonymous reader writes "The Mormon Church has instructed its lawyers to gag the Internet over WikiLeaks' release of the 1968 and 1999 versions of its confidential handbook for Church leaders. Apart from attacking WikiLeaks, legal demands were sent to Jimmy Wales of the WikiMedia foundation for a WikiNews article merely linking to the material, and scribd.com has also been censored. WikiLeaks has (of course) refused to remove the documents."

Unless they actually wanted 1000's of unconverted heathens to download and read the document in the hope that a few might be converted.
A weird kind of inverse spam :
What else would cause 1000's of geeks and nerds to actively seek out and read a church document.

It's quite easy, if you freeze the water into the shape of a wheel and put the sharp stick through the middle.
