The insane world just keeps rolling. Apparently, murdering people from an attack helicopter is okay, when representing tax payers.
But revealing that abomination and other sleazy, murderous government behaviour is not kosher.
Oh, wiping out trillions of dollars from the economy is fine, but remember, NOT using a condom can be seen at international rape.
.. anyway.. here's the trashy breaking news from CNN .. pathetic ...
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/12/18/bank-america-stops-handling-wikileaks-payments/ CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Bank of America says it will no longer process transactions for the website WikiLeaks, following similar actions by several other financial institutions. The bank said in a statement that it believes that site "may be engaged in activities that are, among other things, inconsistent with our internal policies for processing payments." It joins financial institutions including MasterCard and PayPal that have stopped handling payments for the site. Reached by phone, Bank of America spokesman Scott Silvestri declined further comment to The Associated Press. WikiLeaks responded with a Twitter message urging its supporters to stop doing business with the bank.

Arizona Sues Bank Of America, Alleges Loan Modification Fraud
PHOENIX — Attorneys general in Arizona and Nevada filed civil lawsuits Friday against Bank of America Corp., alleging that the lender is misleading and deceiving homeowners who have tried to modify mortgages in two of the nation's most foreclosure-damaged states. Bank of America violated Arizona's consumer fraud law by misleading consumers who tried to reduce their monthly payments to keep their homes, state Attorney General Terry Goddard said. The bank also violated the terms of a 2009 consent agreement requiring its Countrywide mortgage subsidiary to implement a loan modification program, the Arizona lawsuit alleges. Hundreds of homeowners kept making their mortgage payments because Bank of America repeatedly assured them that their loans were being modified, Goddard said. Instead, many lost their homes anyway. "Those people could have used that money for something else," Goddard told The Associated Press. "They were deceived into continuing to make mortgage payments when they had no hope of saving their homes." Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto told the AP that the Silver State's lawsuit was a last resort to try to get the bank to change its ways. It was filed after several discussions with bank managers led to assurances but little more. "Clearly there is a disconnect between what Bank of America tells me at the management level and what's happening on the front line," Masto said. Masto said separate lawsuits show the bank's problems with consumers are widespread. "The only thing that I'm asking is that (Bank of America) give them a reasonable response in a timely manner," she said. "It is, in my perspective, a callous disregard for what we are telling them." Nevada and Arizona are among the states hardest hit by homeowners who have defaulted on mortgages in the last few years as adjustable payments soared, people lost their jobs, and home values collapsed. One out of every 99 households in Nevada received a foreclosure notice last month, according to RealtyTrac Inc., and Arizona's rate wasn't far behind.
