Censorship Struggle Underway In Iceland 251
jon jonson writes "Information from the collapsed Icelandic bank Kaupthing has been leaked to WikiLeaks, revealing billions in insider loans, and the bank has been working day and night to censor the information contained in the document. Last night at 6:55pm GMT, they served an injunction against the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service, five minutes before the 7pm news was due to be aired. The TV station just displayed the WikiLeaks URL instead. They've also injuncted Iceland's national radio, banning all discussion about the contents of the document, and they are actively trying to censor the rest of the Icelandic media along with WikiLeaks."

You know, it's really refreshing to see a story about censorship and (presumed) government corruption that's *not* about America for once. Go Iceland! :)

Of course it isn't; you have to research it yourself. Ion Cannons,
Drones, Super Heavy Chassis and Gravity Generators, on the other
hand, you can all get from the Bentusi.

I love how the Icelandics had the audacity to blame the British for the collapse of their banks..
