Ah, I see - so MasterCard and other businesses are required to do business with WikiLeaks? No choice, just submit to the will of WikiLeaks or face criminal attack by an electronic Manson Family?

It was Sen. Joe Lieberman who intervened in the case of Amazon for sure, and it does not take much to figure out that paypal, MC, and VISA were all likewise pressured by the US gov as well.

Matt, i know you are not so naive to believe all these corporations all of a sudden at the same time decided wikileaks was in violation of their terms. They were more than happy to service them prior to the cable leak.

The fact of the matter is that wikileaks has broken no laws, so the US gov is applying pressure via their close contacts with the corporate world.

Hence, Operation Payback.
