The biggest threat to WikiLeaks isn’t the house arrest of Julian Assange or the militaries of frustrated world governments — it’s the financial blockade by PayPal, Bank of America, Visa and other institutions that has cut off $15 million in donations (by WikiLeaks’ estimate).

It would have been nice to see something more creative in WikiLeaks’ first commercial (as far as we know) than a trite MasterCard parody, but then again MasterCard is one of the financial organizations blocking donations.
