Except that's a false analogy. Here's a better one:
People working for your company were responsible for murdering 12 people in a parking lot. Your company covered it up. A newspaper was sent video tape and other evidence showing what happened, and proving that your company lied that it did not know about the event when questioned. This Newspaper publishes the news. Sometime later someone else sends the newspaper emails that appear to have been passed between your company's directors and the top management and PR people in your company. They contain what the Directors said about your competitors, and your clients, and some of your shareholders. It shows that while your staff and your Directors say one thing, the company actually functions quite differently behind the scenes. It shows that your company was supporting a hostile takeover of another firm, unbeknown to the shareholders. It shows that your company negotiated with Companies previously thought to be direct competitors, and it shows that your company contributed heavily to firms knowing that those firms funded your competitors. The Newspaper confirms that these documents which it received are accurate, and,in association with other media houses, prints it. Your company's shareholders are shocked and alarmed at these email conversations. You decide to shut down the newspaper. But its broken no laws and there is no legal way to do so. So you decide to go after the newspaper's owner, and force a rape case through court. When that case is thrown out, you ask a Senator to pressure a judge into hearing the case in another state. You then issue a warrant for the Newspaper owner's arrest, on this rape charge. You use Government Senators to pressure other businesses to drop the Newspaper. You threaten their supplier of Ink to drop support for them. You threaten the trucks that deliver their newspapers to drop their support. You get Credit Card companies to stop all payments to that Newspaper. That's a far, far better analogy to what is occurring with Wikileaks than what you have posted.
