I think it's funny how some posts here are calling for shutting him down - unless those folks work for BofA and are afraid of getting arrested, why? First amendment couldn't be any clearer.
At face value, Wikileaks is simply a whistle blower's outlet - the conspiracy theory folks will call it psyops or various other agendas calling Assange a criminal. You want to find criminals - go look inside these banks and how they operate.
The last thing I want is for "BofA to collapse" as a resident of Charlotte... But that doesn't mean I think people should be above the law because they work for a TBTF bank and it's for the "greater good" that they continue to be allowed to make their own rules.
First Amendment may not apply to someone not in the U.S. Also, how's he a simple whistle blower for publishing things like SS numbers and home addresses of soldiers?
As someone said before - the people at "the top" will never go down. If BoA shut its doors tomorrow, those people would be just fine. All of those who work as wage-slaves for the company on the other hand (and who have nothing to do with how the bank conducts its business) they will be the ones getting screwed.
Exactly! If BofA were to go down, and it won't, the bigwigs @ the top won't be affected @ all, they will still get their pensions and bonuses, while everyone else get the axe! You gotta love that corruption and greed!
Bank of America and the other major financial institutions in this country have already shown us over and over again that they are unethical, lying, cheating, stealing institutions that exist solely for the enrichment of senior management. What "leaks" could possibly divulge information that is worse than what we already know?

You make them sound like politicans.................

That's largely inconsequential as I am an American and I believe that people have the right to free speech - no matter where they live. Regardless, I stated that Wikileaks is an outlet for whistle blowers - which it is... They (Assange and his team) are not writing this stuff. They are simply providing a forum.
I'm not aware of "SS number and home addresses of soldiers" being published with the intent you're implying - I'm not even certain he published actual real SS numbers or real addresses and what the context may or may not have been in the documents.
It sounds like your issue is with the source and origin of the data, not wikileaks itself.

Not every time. The executives at Enron got some serious jail time once their offenses were revealed.
