Wikileaks - beggining of World War 3?

Seems like a war to me (hackers vs goverments???):

1) WikiLeaks relases goverment secret infos
2) WikiLeaks attacked by hackers and companies deny service (Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, Amazon etc)
3) Hackers hit back at the companies who attacked or denied service to wiki
4) What is next??

"We feel that Wikileaks has become more than just about leaking of documents, it has become a war ground, the people vs. the government," he said.
So far the denial-of-service attacks (DDoS), which swamp a site with so many requests that it becomes overwhelmed, have failed to take any sites offline although that is not the point of the attack, according to Coldblood.

"The idea is not to wipe them off but to give the companies a wake-up call," he said. "Companies will notice the increase in traffic and an increase in traffic means increase in costs associated with running a website."
