Because Amazon does not appear to have been compelled by law, so there's no law to change - just a vague sense of not wanting to be on the wrong side of powerful people. This is how the mafia works. It shouldn't be how the government works.

The people at Amazon might not actually like Wikileaks or the PR it brings. The government might not have anything to do with it.
