Yes the American business misconduct during this crisis was deplorable.
The war on terror is being fought the wrong way and focusing on the wrong spots at time.
Up until the surge in Iraq, and the surge thats happening in Afghanistan these were not well run wars. Correction, Iraq was well run until they moved from the actual war fighting stage to the tamping down resistance stage.
America's conduct has not been exemplary, and continues to struggle.
I don't even really have an axe to grind with wikileaks even though I think that a lot of the documents that he is releasing are open to really wrong interpretation, and in a lot of cases can be really harmful.
I have an axe to grind with the leakers, I think they're traitors and scum.

Alright, but I'm going to disagree with about the wikileaks people.
I dont think they're traitors and scum, because I dont think they've actually done anything thats hurt anybody, just shown how shoddily people are running things and getting away with it.
Is this the best way of doing it? Probably not, but the options are pretty limited.
I'm not a huge fan of the whole way Wikileaks goes about their business, to me it just seems like throwing as much against the wall as possible in hoped that some of it sticks.

Yeah well, I'm actually really interested in this as finance is kinda my bag. However, I would wager that based on how badly the Banks have been handling their own business they are probably very concerned about some of the information that might be released here. If there is evidence of their incompetence I dont think they're going to have to worry about owning anyone.
Dont forget, they're around right now because the Government said so, they're only going to get propped up for so long, and one would hope that if there is documentation showing that the mess they are in is their own fault maybe some of that money should be going back to where it came from.
Some of this Wikileaks crap makes me feel like we're living in the movie 'Idiocracy.'
