GOVERNMENT 'FOR THE PEOPLE': Iceland Considers Revoking Visa/MasterCard Licenses For Wikileaks Ban

Icelandic Parliament Committee Calls For Ban on Wikileaks "Harsh Operation on Freedom of Expression"

With Visa and MasterCard cutting off payments for Wikileaks, it appears that some Icelandic politicians are threatening to remove both companies’ operating licenses in that country. 
Apparently, the Icelandic Parliamentary General Committee has asked both companies to explain what legal grounds they used for cutting off Wikileaks and, without evidence of legitimate reasons, both companies could lose their operating licenses.
The Icelandic firm DataCell, which was handling the payments for Wikileaks, was planning to sue both companies but it appears that the Icelandic government may help out.
