With Wikileaks Embargo, Payment Institutions Choose The Devil They Don?t Know

You may agree with Wikileaks' mission. Or you may think they're a menace. Or perhaps something in between. But here's one thing you can't deny: they're an organization, with a leader, a name, and (however well hidden) servers, bank accounts, and so on. They also have principles — which, again, may not be to your liking, but they at least exist: removing certain identifying information, distributing to press by certain means only, etc. The world's dominant payment institutions are preventing people from donating to Wikileaks. I suppose that's their prerogative, and of course their senators and MPs would have a fit otherwise. But I'm not sure they realize exactly what they're getting into. They must not be familiar with the Hydra.
