An Issaquah grandmother of two American soldiers said she's outraged at Amazon for providing web hosting to WikiLeaks, the organization that has leaked thousands of classified government documents.

Nadine Gulit had two grandsons deploy to Iraq and founded Operation Support Our Troops. She isn't very diplomatic about Amazon helping out WikiLeaks.

"That shocked me and it surprises me that Amazon went that route," she said.

WikiLeaks came under fresh criticism recently for publicizing 250,000 confidential diplomatic cables that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said endangered innocent lives.

Hours before WikiLeaks published those cables, it was hacked and moved its home page to Amazon's servers for what some believe were security reasons.

University of Washington communications professor Phil Howard wasn't surprised by WikiLeaks' move and concurred that it was likely made to avoid further hacks. He said he thought Amazon's participation might reflect an internet ideology.

"This case is evidence that Amazon still has that kind of libertarian information-must-be-free ethic," he said.

Louie Richmond, a public relations crisis manager, said he thought Amazon's move was a misstep.

"I think it's very bizarre to do this during a holiday season," Richmond said. "I don't think you mix politics with retail."

Gulit said she'll be telling her e-mail list of thousands that she doesn't like Amazon's politics.

"It's kind of like stabbing our military in the back and it outrages me to think that dollar that they could get out of it, that they went that route," Gulit said. "I think we need to send a message to Amazon to shut down that website."
