<p>It doesn&#8217;t look like there&#8217;s much on this story yet, but apparently Glenn Greenwald was contacted about it because he was mentioned in the <a href="http://wikileaks.ch/IMG/pdf/WikiLeaks_Response_v6.pdf">leaked report</a> (pdf).  There are also <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/09/us-wikileaks-bankofamerica-idUSTRE7185W620110209">news reports</a> being made right now downplaying the the BoA documents, which could be a PR effort on their part.</p>
<p>The report also shows evidence of something I&#8217;d been hoping I wouldn&#8217;t see:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.politisink.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/wikileakssna.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-606" src="http://www.politisink.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/wikileakssna-300x219.png" alt="" width="300" height="219" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network">social network analysis</a> and there is very powerful <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network_analysis_software">software</a> available to do it.  There are almost certainly all kinds of private databases being put together with all kinds of information about people obtained through data mining.</p>
