Malfeasance And Skulduggery

Does everybody behave the way that they should ? What about the corporates and governenment agencies ?

There are leaks sites that help to expose wrong doing:

• Wikileaks, the main site is (currently) http://www.wikileaks.ch/ There are many mirrors, try: http://wikileaks.l0cal.com/ & http://www1.wikileaksmirror.org.uk/. Wikileaks recently had its .com address shut off by a judge apparently trying to protect people with enough money to ensure that he made the right decision. Just in case you can also find it in the UK.

  Expect the links above to go bad, there seems to be a lot of churn as some are shut down.

• Wall Street Journal started one in May 2011: https://www.wsjsafehouse.com/ (There have been some concerns expressed as to how good it's anonymisation really is)
• Al Jazeera Transparency Unit (AJTU): http://www.ajtransparency.com/
• EFF lists some others in the making

Chiropracters

These people have made highly dubious claims about what they can do. A Guardian reporter invesigated, the British Chiropractic Association hit him with a libel suit. It appears that libel is increasingly being used to stifle criticism rather than show it to be wrong. The only conclusion that can be drawn in that the BCA cannot show the journalist's findings to be wrong. More on this.

Another organisation makes medical claims for cancer treatment that appear to have no real evidence to back it up. So the Burzynski Clinic sues those who criticise them. Sounds like something to avoid.
