Amazon responds to Wikileaks de-hosting

Message

But, when companies or people go about securing and storing large quantities of data that isn’t rightfully theirs, and publishing this data without ensuring it won’t injure others, it’s a violation of our terms of service, and folks need to go operate elsewhere.

This is a pretty clear case for Amazon, and I buy it, in part. But I have a hard time believing that Amazon AWS, which does not pre-screen customers, just happened to start policing Wikileaks without just a hint of political prodding at work.
