Wikileaks Donations Account Shut Down

Scrameustache writes "The whistleblowing group WikiLeaks claims that it has had its funding blocked and that it is the victim of financial warfare by the US government. Moneybookers, a British-registered internet payment company that collects WikiLeaks donations, emailed the organisation to say it had closed down its account because it had been put on an official US watchlist and on an Australian government blacklist. The apparent blacklisting came a few days after the Pentagon publicly expressed its anger at WikiLeaks and its founder, Australian citizen Julian Assange, for obtaining thousands of classified military documents about the war in Afghanistan."

Cool. From now on everyone just use "ilisit" and the ambiguity will be sure to draw out the forbidden grammar Nazis.

Knowingly receiving stolen property makes you accessory after the fact.

I don't care what you think about Nixon or Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on this one, both are douche bags. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein is doubly so for whining about what is happening to it when it should have expected it all.

Quit your bitchin' and find another source, I'm sure someone (The Soviet Union perhaps) would be willing to broker the payments for The Washington Post, or even finance the whole thing.
