while i think outing gov pork is good and so is outing bent people in public office (people who take bribes) as well as a lot of other things
i'm not so sure outing bank accounts is. outing the way banks do business etc, definitely but once personal accounts get outed it really does start getting too personal. of course if the accounts are of politicians who have much more that they earn in some off shore account then yes. but whose to say if that.s what the accounts are.
i think there is a line between personal privacy and freedom of the press. freedom of speech should to some extent surpass most boundaries, while freedom of the press should not.
