Looks like I was right in my prediction that major media would be intervening in the Wikileaks.org case. The judge allowed their participation as amicus curae for the hearing yesterday without ruling on whether their motions to intervene would be allowed (that requires a round of briefing). But here is the list of the amicus parties from the judge's pre-hearing order. <http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/files/whites_questions.pdf>.
The Court will permit the following parties to appear as amicus curiae for purposes of the hearing on the application for preliminary injunction: Public Citizen, California FirstAmendment Coalition (collectively "Public Citizen"); Project on Government Oversight,American Civil Liberties Union, Inc., American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, Inc.,Electronic Frontier Foundation, Jordan McCorkle (collectively "Project on Government Oversight"; and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the American Society of Newspaper Editors; the Associated Press, Citizen Media Law Project, The E.W. Scripps Co., Gannett Co., Inc., The Hearst Corporation, the Los Angeles Times, National Newspaper Association, Newspaper Association of America, Radio-Television News Directors Association, and the Society for Professional Journalists (collectively "Media Outlets").
