Is there any way to verify externally that there is actually a DDoS of the scale that WikiLeaks is claiming going on? Seems like it might just be a PR stunt on their side... As mentioned in other comments, there are so many other ways to distribute this type of info if you really want, and anyone savvy enough to DDoS on this scale should be aware of that, plus the information doesn't seem to be as hot as they make it out to be anyway.
