From a business perspective, if Wikileaks is charged with federal crimes, and Amazon is still hosting it, that would roll amazon into the investigation and open them up to whatever charges the US govn't might throw at them. Is it good business for Amazon to potentially get sucked into federal investigations or congressional hearings? Not to mention all the bad mainstream press they began getting. And I wouldn't be surprised if the federal govn't is an AWS customer. Whether its right or wrong thats just a mess nobody needs. While I support Wikileaks first amendment rights I don't think you can blame Amazon for not wanting to get embroiled in the battle
