I'm partial to "wikileaky" myself.  Over 1000 hits, featuring such
keepers as "Wikileaky National Security" and " wikileaky condoms".
My own partiality is, I admit, of course strongly colored by the
influence of cock-a-leekie soup.  No recipes for wikileaky soup as
such, but there is this:

Recipe: Potato and Wikileaks soup

Potato and Wikileaks Soup serves billions and provides a healthy
alternative to packaged alternatives. Its strong taste is not to
everyone's liking, but it's an excellent compliment [sic] to any dish
featuring raw Democracy. Preparation is difficult, and despite being
made of ingredients protected by law, may lead to arrest.  [and so on]
