the polite passive tone?    If so, then one should not take it seriously.
The whole thing is semiotic.

What I found most peculiar about the article was it's self-pitying tone... 

If granted real authority, once WikiLeaks sets its sights on other
countries, the fallout could be drastic. Leaked information could severely
damage the social stability of nations that are not able to handle the
release of so much sensitive information.

An information tsunami is flooding every country, but different countries
have different abilities to control and absorb it.

Developed countries, especially the US, dominate the global flow of
information at the moment. 

Countries like China, despite their rising status in the information world,
must have a line of defense against a hurtful information campaign.

    Is there some tacit understanding between the website and the US 
    government?  It may be worth asking. And what does it mean to 
    other countries that are on the radar screen of WikiLeaks? 

Over one the conspirscy newsgroup, the CIA is behind Wikileaks; Mossad is;
The Israeli government is; or it's a diversion so that (some

unnamed) They can do something nefarious un-noticed. 

At another conspiracy-minded (and perhaps less than meticulously 
factual) source: 

 

    WIKILEAKS delivers massive blow on American usury 

    Publication time: 2 December 2010, 13:19 

    According to the democratic media outlets, Assange warned that the 
    next disclosure will deal with "a large U.S. bank". The warning 
    caused panic in the U.S. 

    Depositors rushed to withdraw money from the Bank of America and 
    Goldman Sachs.  Shares of these major usurious parasitic dens 
    plummeted. 

    Christianity and Islam strictly prohibit usury (bank interest). 

    Earlier in 2009, Assange said in an interview that he has huge 
    discrediting evidence on the Bank of America.
