Currently, it has not been proven that members of Wikileaks have hacked into government systems to obtain information. Rather, Wikileaks obtains information through anonymous submissions on their website.
The U.S can look into whether the information Wikileaks released was obtained illegally (such as computer hacking). If the information was obtained legally, the US can do nothing.
Sensitive documents are "leaked" to them from anonymous sources, most likely within governments.
It is difficult to pinpoint an "official" website for the organization. Wikileaks has many copies, or "mirrors" of its home page. Essentially, there are numerous Wikileaks "home pages;" the same information can be accessed through any of the mirror sites listed on www.wikileaks.ch under the "Mirrors" tab at the top of the page.

Julian assange created wikileaks.
It's hosted on servers in countries that don't care about the source of the information so those whose information has been stolen have no legal recourse to stop Wikileaks. It's not just one country either, so it can move around from one place to another - if it gets shut down one place, it can spring up in another. Also there are a lot of people who subscribe to the "information wants to be free" creed and who actively defend the existence of Wikileaks (without regard to who may be harmed by the release of the information - or how accurate the information is)
Julian Assange is the co-founder and director of WikiLeaks.
