LONDON (Reuters) - It had to happen. A Web site set up to encourage anonymous leaks of controversial government secrets has been exposed before its launch.

Government insiders around the world will be invited to use the site as cover to leak evidence of corruption and injustice. It is meant to be an adaptation of Wikipedia, the popular online encyclopedia, to encourage whistle-blowers to come forward.

Depending entirely on voluntary contributions for its content, http://www.wikileaks.org will officially go live in a few months: instead of the public submitting entries, it is asking officials to publish state documents.
