    "Since 2007 we have been deliberately placing some of our servers in
    jurisdictions that we suspected suffered a free speech deficit in
    order to separate rhetoric from reality," Assange said on Friday
    during a live chat on The Guardian's website. "Amazon was one of these
    cases."

The paypal situation is likely similar.  I bet that account which was
seized -- WITHOUT DUE PROCESS -- probably being continually simphoned
empty by wikileaks, therefore it can also demonstrate a 'due process
deficit'.

I'm sorry, but is my bet that a failure of due process which affects
you much more personally will eventually happen since you live there.
I am not attacking you in any way.  But it is poor style to mock those
who, simply as a side effect, manage to demonstrate that the right of
law is not being followed.
