Swiss Close Assange's Bank Account While Wikileaks Just Damaged World Security

Well at least the Swiss are finally choosing a side on this issue.

The Swiss Post Office's banking arm said it had closed an account set up by the embattled Australian after he gave false information.

"PostFinance has ended its business relationship with WikiLeaks founder Julian Paul Assange," the bank said in a statement.

PostFinance said it shut down Assange's account after the Australian provided false information about his place of residence which his applicaton had said was in Geneva.

I guess you can't be on the run and still have a Swiss bank account to live the high life on. Unfortunately Wikileaks still does damage even as we speak.

The website released a State Department cable from February 2009 asking US missions to update a list of infrastructure and key resources worldwide whose loss "could critically impact" the country's public health, economic life and national security.

The list detailed undersea cables, key communications, ports, mineral resources and firms of strategic importance in countries ranging from Britain to New Zealand, via Africa, the Middle East and China.

Also listed were European manufacturers of vaccines for smallpox and rabies, an Italian maker of treatment for snake-bite venom, and a German company making treatment for plutonium poisoning.

Compilation of the list would help "prevent, deter, neutralize or mitigate the effects of deliberate efforts by terrorists to destroy, incapacitate or exploit" sites deemed of "vital" importance to the United States, the cable said.

Yup, it just provided a road-map for every terrorist group both Islamic and Anarchist out there.  Now any radical group that wants to cripple the World in some significant way can just go to Wikileaks and find out the location of an undersea cable and cut the thing with a diver and an explosive charge.

Could we see a radical offshoot of Greenpeace send a diver off the coast of Japan to blow up the undersea cable that provides their data link to the rest of the world?

All they have to do is go to Wikileaks in order to get that information. Now they can no longer claim that only the US will be effected by this mess. Now everyone has to watch their back because the "Terrorist To-Do List" has just been leaked by Wikileaks.
