But my understanding was that Mastercard ceased doing business with them because the US govt asked them to cease. Isn't that then the same as Capone saying "you'll cease doing business with them, or else!"?

I hadn't seen that. If the government actually asked that, I agree it was out of line.

No mention of government involvement here, though: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503543_1...01-503543.html

MasterCard says WikiLeaks violated their terms of service, according to that article.
