I might be looking at this wrong, but it seemed like Google was just pointing out an example of how this tactic has been effective in the past. They don't say anything about whether they condone the use of this strategy for the specific case of Wikileaks.

IMHO, what happened to Wikileaks is a clear attack on free speech for which the companies involved should have been penalized. That this didn't happen says a lot and Google should have chosen another way to get their point across.

By offering it up as an existing alternative they are implicitly endorsing it.
