Attacking the Mormons
In April 2008, Wikileaks posted the secret handbook of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These materials were private and most mormons have not even seen them. After the spokesperson from the church Michael Purdy asked for them to take the handbook off of their website, they refused.
Quotes
"I can only assume that religious bigotry and prejudice is driving their activity, as there is no altruistic value in posting our copyrighted scriptures, despite Wikileaks' self-serving statements to the contrary. Posting entire books and hundreds of pages of published works is not 'Sunshine Policy' but wholesale copyright infringement."—Karin Pouw1
