There will be no bank infos release me think. Many people are going to be disappointed. The cable leaks will continue though.

Switzerland to be bombed because they are harboring terrorists? The US will have the Swiss bank affairs as a leverage to not let Assange stay as a refugee in Switzerland. That's a different cable.

Whistleblowing is important. Knowing that Kadhafi likes blonds with big tits is not news worthy but if you give your government a free pass to lie to you, you deserve to go to the slaughterhouse like cattle do without asking any question.

TimRussert:
Murdoch creates jobs, he creates value in society. Assange is just a weasel.
Wrong. Both have politic motives.
Now you can decide who's weasel according to your opinion.

Posted in: U.S., South Korea begin war games See in context
If South-Korea starts the war, US and friends would be reluctant to help and China would help the North. The South would loose. If North-Korea starts the war, China would be reluctant and the South would be helped by the US and friends. North-Korea sunk the boat in a disputed area and shelled an island in also a disputed area. US and South-korea drill isn't in the disputed area because it would be seen as an aggression from the South and US on the North and China side.

WillyB: so, is it the currency or the rules and the players?

WillyB: I understand what you mean about merging Mexico and the USA. Nobody would believe it would work. Naive, you would say but I believe it could work. To play this game, you need rules. The rules should not kill the game and in the same time, you need serious people to survey what is happening. You cannot trust everyone to respect the rules if they are not surveyed. In the same time I don't want any 'super'-government to slow down my business activities and better, I don't want the whole game to be threatened because my government, I chose or not, failed to watch the game you and I are playing.

WilliB: they exploited the system and lost. The ECB was too busy with the inflation to check what was really happening. The currency isn't the problem. See the subprime crisis? Is the USD responsible? No. Let the market regulate itself as Greenspan professed? No. The banks lend money to everyone and their dogs. Nobody really cared. I didn't see anything coming myself...

WillyB: the problem is not the Euro but dumb governments and bank managers. The party is over and now their economies have a serious hangover. The problem lies in the fraction reserve system and the absence of regulations. This crisis proved we cannot let the economy unwatched and unregulated.
