We're bulletproof, Your Honor

Every now and again, an event comes along and takes our breath away by reminding us just how far out of step the legal system can be with today's changing world. The latest example is last week's attempt by a federal judge in California to shutter Wikileaks, a website devoted to disclosing confidential information that exposes unethical behavior.

Almost a week after US District Judge Jeffrey White unequivocally ordered the disabling of the guerrilla outfit, it remains up, and its foot soldiers are as defiant as ever. More to the point, it continues to host internal documents purporting to prove that a bank located in the Cayman Islands engaged in money laundering and tax evasion - the same documents that landed it in hot water in the first place...........

Two things.

Second. Could this be a setup? Make it look like there is a safe and secure leak server, and ensnare whistle-blowers? Not that I'm paranoid. I know they're out to get me.

This stuff can make ones head spin, but I suspect there's more significance to it than there appears to be.

"On December 8, 1986, da Costa received the first of a series of payments of $12,500 a month from BCCI Grand Caymans to his account at BCCI's agency in New York for his consultancy to BCCI. In the same period, he received the first of a series of payments from Kissinger Associates of $10,000 a quarter."
