Amazon faces boycott over WikiLeaks axe

Amazon faces boycott over WikiLeaks axe: "Amazon is facing a backlash from its customers after kicking whistleblowing website WikiLeaks off its servers.

The internet giant took action after coming under pressure from right-wingers in the US to stop hosting the site, which this week published tens of thousands of confidential diplomatic e-mails.

Joe Lieberman, chairman of the senate homeland security committee, called on other companies to end their links with the website.

He said: 'WikiLeaks' illegal, outrageous, and reckless acts have compromised our national security and put lives at risk around the world.'"
