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."

Its not really treason since the owner isn't from the US. He's Australian.

1. By that logic, then it's wouldn't really be against the law for America to have Assange killed.

2. It's against Australian law to reveal the secrets of Australia's allies.
