Q.225

Just like Wikileaks, several media organisations have been setting up sites to accept content submissions, particularly for leaks and whistle-blowing attempts. Al Jazeera has already created one, and the New York Times and Washington Post are reportedly considering the same.

The most recent such site was by Wall Street Journal, which came in for a lot of criticism because even though submitters can request for confidentiality, the site does not guarantee to protect their identity.

The name of this site refers to a common concept in law enforcement circles where it may be offered to an informant. What concept?
