Several foreign countries including China, Israel, North Korea, Russia, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe have denounced or blocked access to the Wikileaks.org Web site to prevent citizens or adversaries from accessing sensitive information, embarrassing information, or alleged propaganda. The governments of China, Israel, and Russia have asserted that they have a right to remove from the Internet protected government information, disinformation, and propaganda that is intended to embarrass or make false allegations against their governments. China, Israel, North Korea, and Russia are assessed to have state-sponsored CNE, computer network attack (CNA), and cyber forensics capabilities that would most likely allow penetration or disrupt viewing of the Wikileaks.org Web site. China, Israel, and Russia have used or are suspected of having used CNA to target terrorist or dissident Web sites that have posted objectionable material intended to embarrass, harm, or encourage terrorism or opposition to the government.
