2. is Amazon selling them or is someone selling them on Amazon?
Who is this Heinz Duthel listed as the "author"? I don't know how the Kindle thingie works, so I'm rather confused what's going on here. Did some boob just somehow get ahold of the docs and listed them to sell on Amazon or is it Amazon itself that's selling them? I'm not getting who this Duthel person is or why he's listed as the "author".

Who is this guy and why does he have the docs in the first place?

If all Amazon had been doing for Wikileaks is hosting their stuff how can they STEAL it and sell it???

4. technically Wikileaks didn't steal them
But I get your point. Still, how can Amazon lift what they were being paid to host and sell it? I'm thinking more that this is some guy that somehow got the docs and is selling them on Amazon - and Amazon is too stupid to realize it.

6. The reviews are almost unanimous - "HYPOCRISY"
And a few users saying they've dumped their Checkout bins and won't ever return to Amazon.

8. According to Joe Lieberman they should be investigated
under the Espionge Act. Unmitigaged gall. Hypocrisy. Why should anyone buy them when they are available on Wikileaks for free?

9. I have never seen anything that fit this quote better
than Amazon's hypocrisy.

10. Yeah, the product is missing. My guess is someone listed it, got flagged, and Amazon removed it
Nice try by someone to make Amazon look foolish, though.
