The Library of Congress has blocked access to the Wikileaks site on its staff computers and on the wireless network that visitors use, two sources tell TPM.
The error message reportedly reads:
Ad or Website blocked by LC DNSBH. Advertisements or websites that may be malicious are blocked.
If this message appears in lieu of an advertisement (i.e., on part of the page), the advertisement site may be malicious. However the website is safe to use.
If this message appears on a page by itself, the website is blocked due to potential malicious content.

This is more in a series of censorship attempts begun since the release of diplomatic memos.
This puts US on a par with China for state ordered censorship
China blocked access to Wikileaks’ Cablegate site, according to a report from Computerworld, a link to which WikiLeaks tweeted today. The government has reportedly also omitted any negative revelations about China in media reports.
So you won’t find stories about the Politburo’s role in hacking Google China, or how it ignored a U.S. request to stop transferring missiles to Tehran, or about its support for a Korean reunification.
Only state-run publications such as Xinhua and China Daily are permitted to report Wikileaks news. Sources told the Wall Street Journal that the government has gagged other media from covering Wikileaks.
But that hasn’t stopped Chinese Netizens from hailing Wikileaks editor Julian Assange and the site as bastions of freedom; not a surprise given that WikiLeaks originated from Chinese dissidents in January 2007.
