Screen-shot-2010-12-21-at-7.37.gif Buried in that Times of London article you didn't read because it was behind a paywall was confirmation by Julian Assange that Wikileaks will release a very large cache of documents about Bank of America, to be released in early 2011.

"We don't want the bank to suffer unless it's called for," Assange told The Times. "But if its management is operating in a responsive way there will be resignations," he said, without giving details about the material.

Oh, and,

Assange compared WikiLeaks' "persecution" to that endured by Jews in the US in the 1950s.

Update: At FORBES, Andy Greenberg points out that the Times article alone does not support the statement that BofA is "confirmed" as the next leak target. (thanks, coates bateman)
