Wikileaks has become a target of the United States government which seeks to discredit and destroy it. In March 2008, the U.S. Army Counterintelligence Center created a secret report- ironically leaked to Wikileaks- documenting the history of Wikileaks, its prior disclosure of sensitive National Security information, the threat that Wikileaks could pose to the United States Army, and laying out methods by which Wikileaks could be destroyed. In 2010, Icelandic police were accused of raiding a house of a underage Wikileaks volunteer. Wikileaks' Twitter feed contains numerous allegations of harrassment and surveillance of Wikileaks staff at the hands of the American intelligence establishments.
In contrast, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) gave little consideration or attention to Wikileaks. In response to a FOIA request for all NCIS records pertaining to Wikileaks, NCIS released, with some minor redactions by NCIS and the Army Criminal Investigative Division for reasons of privacy, two pages of records. Assuming a honest disclosure, and the disclosed documents provided no reason to doubt that it is, the records demonstrate a surprising passivity of one of the DOD's premier investigative arms toward Wikileaks given the all but declared war against Wikileaks by the Pentagon.
