BALCO Judge shuts down Wall Street Journal’s entire online site

He did this for disclosing confidential information. You’d think the judge could just order those pages that contain the private information to be brought down. But, nope.
Now, it’s not the WSJ, but WikiLeaks.org. But, it’s the same idea: putting a padlock on the entire building, rather than just locking one door, until the judge learns the difference between a page (room) and a site (building).
This is a US judge that did this, not Chinese or Russian.
