I think it's important to separate a rejection from a termination. Apparently, Wikileaks has been hosted on EC2 for over a month[1], which makes Amazon's decision a termination instead of a rejection.

I could also understand if Amazon didn't notice Wikileaks for a few days, but weeks?

Getting rejected poses no problem for anyone; there are grey areas, and everyone needs to draw a line.

But getting pulled after being hosted for several weeks? What changed?

Amazon pulling Wikileaks has created a Damoclean sword in the minds of people who consider to use AWS in the future.
