(my second posting regarding WikiLeaks today)

The founder of whistleblower site WikiLeaks attacked Switzerland on Sunday for arresting a Swiss banker on suspicion of breaching banking secrecy instead of investigating the tax evasion he said he had uncovered.
"The Swiss Banker is in prison because he has revealed a criminal offshore system of tax evasion in which Swiss banks play a leading role," Assange was quoted as saying in an interview.
"Instead of investigating themselves, these offshore structures, and going after the tax evaders, the authorities are going after Mr. Elmer," he said.
Mr Assange also said,
"Switzerland is putting itself into the spotlight with its actions."
Assange said Switzerland was not the only country involved in the offshore banking structures that were depriving tax authorities worldwide of some $22 billion.

Prehaps now is the time to ask ...Whether Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks are another aspect of the 'freedom of speech' for the common good?
Or best left unleaked and untold?
