Like a house of cards. From the AP:

A Swiss bank has dropped its lawsuit against Web site Wikileaks.org for posting sensitive customer data.

Lawyers for Bank Julius Baer filed court papers Wednesday in San Francisco that officially ended the case.

Remember that a judge initially went along with the bank’s request to block access to the site, an order that was broadly criticized as unconstitutional. And when a bunch of journalism and civil liberties groups got involved, the judge threw up his hands.
