Right out of a James Bond movie

You really expect to see Dr. No in his wheelchair with his white cat in those photos.

This is the Bahnhof Bunker, which is owned by Bahnhof A.B., a Swedish company with servers which host, among other sites, Wikileaks.  It was a bomb shelter bunker in a past incarnation.  Through the link is a slide show.

These photos follow a week of Sen. Joe Lieberman pressuring private companies like Amazon to deny Wikileaks hosting, as well as an attempt to intimidate just about anybody with any association with federal government, past, present, and future, from even looking at the documents.  Oh, and Interpol is after Assange now, whom the Swedish police suspect of sexual assault.

Aside from the confirmation that American diplomats are violating treaties and trust by spying, there really isn’t too much I’ve seen which even belongs in secrecy in my opinion.  Right now there’s a government backlash against transparency, but I suspect that it’ll take some tangible negative fallout to turn much of the public against it.
