(62,325 posts)Funny how when Wikileaks was doing its thing BEFORE the got material on the US, no one had a negative word to say about them. How great it was to have a news organization that finally told the truth, about the world most corrupt dictators, about Big Banks, such as the one in Iceland which provided that country with the evidence they needed to take over a corrupt institution that helped topple their economy. Wikileaks was heroic, UNTIL they released material that exposed Bush's war crimes.
But actually, even that was tolerable, it was when Assange announced that he had material on a Big Bank that could help close it down, that all hell broke loose against him, that he became a target of BOA, as we saw in the Anonymous leaks. It was one month later that he was accused in Sweden of sexual assault.
The lesson for the press is 'do not mess with Wall Street'. And it looks like they got it loud and clear.
