Is the United States Government Now Working with WikiLeaks

The next storm of WikiLeaks seems a little suspect. If you remember, a couple years ago, the United States government began putting pressure on Swiss bankers to turn over information of Americans who were using Swiss Bank accounts to avoid taxation. All of a sudden, WikiLeaks plans to publish a list of Americans who are using Swiss Banks to avoid taxes. It all seems a little funny to me.

A former Swiss banker was on Monday due to hand over files to WikiLeaks which he alleges detail attempts by wealthy business leaders and lawmakers to evade tax payments.

Rudolf Elmer, a former employee of Swiss-based Bank Julius Baer, told Britain's Observer newspaper on Sunday that the documents include details of about 2,000 accounts held in offshore financial centers. He says the account holders include "high net worth" celebrities, business leaders and lawmakers from the U.S., Britain and Asia.

Remember, the United States government cried foul over WikiLeaks, trying to make the case it was some great form of espionage to something that amounted to nothing more than some embarrassments for the government. Now let's recall how the United States government was putting pressure on Swiss Bankers to release information. Why is it the information is being released to WikiLeaks if WikiLeaks is truly anti-American?
