WikiLeaks: US Committing Financial Warfare

HeadlineOct 15, 2010

And the whistleblowing group WikiLeaks is accusing the US of targeting it with financial warfare. Speaking to The Guardian of London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says the company responsible for collecting the group’s donations terminated its account after the US and Australia placed WikiLeaks on blacklists. The company, Moneybookers, dropped WikiLeaks less than a week after the Pentagon threatened to target the group over its release of thousands of military documents on the Afghan war.
