Wikileaks is distributed across the Internet and a global human support network on the basis of free speech. It's also on thousands and thousands of personal storage devices.
Governments will make laws to block access to the Internet, and will sanction servers that host Wikileaks. However, since no entity owns the Internet, and it is redundantly distributed, it will have little effect. The Swedish government did the same thing to The Pirate Bay, and it had absolutely ZERO effect.
3) Already the information Wikileaks has dispersed is mirrored in so many places that there is absolutely no single government body that is powerful enough or organized enough that can do a damn thing about it. CASE IN POINT: IF you liken the Wikileaks network to an Islamic terrorist network (on the basis that they're both NETWORKS)...how well has the crusade against them gone?
If Julian Assange is killed or arrested, that won't do anything. He's just the public face of the network.
"Free speech" is a term not many people understand. They will, if the US starts blocking websites.
