If it's such a threat to nat'l security, why don't they just shut it down like they do for all the piracy sites?

I was reading https://greenwald.substack.com/p/a-long-forgotten-cia-document-from which prompted this thought

>To the list of the enemies threatening the security of the United States, the Pentagon has added WikiLeaks.org, a tiny online source of information and documents that governments and corporations around the world would prefer to keep secret.
