I was under the impression that before Wikileaks started going after government secrets, that this kind of leak was their original purpose. I think after all that has happened, a lot of people would like to have this information and find out what exactly the big banks are up to. I have to say I kinda like the idea that somebody scares them.

I’m torn now. I think Assange is a miserable bastard, possible sex offender, and an anarchist. I think his government leaks may have put lives in danger (see Zimbabwe). But, I also love the idea of every bank and major corporation quaking in their boots that there may be somebody that can notify the public of their very, very dirty deeds who isn’t afraid of who might come after him for doing it.

Also too, full disclosure. I got burned by BoA, so I’m bitter and biased. Fuck them!
