Wikileaks? What Problem?

A sudden idea that came into my head, inspired by how there are so many fake torrents that studios flood the web with, in order to deter users from downloading their media content.

Instead of trying so hard to pin allegations of rape on Assange, wouldn't it be so much easier for Governments to simply launch a massive misdirection campaign to discredit Wikileaks? Just hack into the website or create fake versions of Wikileaks with heaps of fake data, so that it actually loses credibility or public interest?
