  LEAKING a sensitive government document can mean risking a jail sentence - but not for much longer if an online service called WikiLeaks goes ahead. WikiLeaks is designed to allow anyone to post documents on the web without fear of being traced.
  
  The creators of the site are thought to include political activists and open-source software engineers, though they are keeping their identities secret. Their goal is to ensure that whistle-blowers and journalists are not thrown into jail for emailing sensitive documents. That was the fate of Chinese journalist Shi Tao, who was sentenced to a 10-year term in 2005 after publicising an email from Chinese officials about the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

  The problem is not the internet trace. It's the context and content of the document that will provide the basis for investigation by narrowing it to a certain dept or agency and access levels vis a vis security clearance would eventually lead to some answers.

  Sometimes, it the the plight of those caught and thrown into jail that inspired more people to fight. However, in order for that to happen, the person thrown into prison must have a very strong charsima.

  Yes...Singapore is rather small and even an oblique reference can be traced without too much difficulty. Within a department there are systems and softwares in place that will enable illegal access to information to be traced without much problems either.
