Just thought I would toss this in here as it somewhat relates to the criminal investigations. Please note that anyone who was getting tweats from WikiLeaks could go under investigation too.

Call comes after revelation that US has tried to force Twitter to release WikiLeaks members' private details

Does anyone know what is going on with the whole case of late? This topic in the news has quietened down very much. Thought I would give it a bump!

I think they are purposely trying to keep it out of the news as much as possible to keep anymore attention from hitting it; hoping people will just move on and forget it, outta mind. Such as the Loughner "Distraction".

The biggest reason why it has been dying down in tv media is exactly that...new distractions. Good thing for local news companies which continuously post & print their articles...hence why news is caught in the details, and not in the hype!
