#4 we cannot allow any more of these insideous leaks, how will we keep our elites in power. You know, "elites", Harvard Grads......those guys with "big" international connections through old family ties......the ones that are "given" business to "run" by their "fellow elites", businesses like "the Texas Rangers".

#5 The article quotes Assange: It will give a true and representative insight into how banks behave at the executive level in a way that will stimulate investigations and reforms, I presume.
What has actually come to light since 2007 should already have been enough for a blizzard of indictments, perp walks, convictions & prison terms. It hasn't happened.
Useful reforms such as reinstatement of Glass-Steagall and regulation of credit default swaps as insurance programs are beyond consideration.
I doubt anything Wikileaks could disclose will make any difference. Assange is a bit of a fool, but we already knew that.

#6 Assange has said HRC will probably have to resign over the Dept State leaks. He's hard core left - I wonder how much of the timing was related to trying to kill off Clinton as a political opponent to Obama?

#7 An excellent comment over the US's failure to go after already-known bankster malfeasance, from Zerohedge: Eric Holder has still to prove that he is anything besides an organ donor.

#8 Does anyone besides me smell a potential Soros money trail?

#9 Until most recently, the majority of the "leaks" have involved actions and documents dating from the Bush years. Might explain Zero's ambivalence.

#10 The way to kill HRC as an opponent is to keep her as SecState and out of politics. The way to get a primary opponent is to kick her out of the job she clearly coveted if the could not be el Supremo.

That's a good question. I've been thinking about that sort of thing, and also about the possibility that some of the material in the cables may be planted disinformation. (Specifically, the whole bit about biometrics.)
