Another thing, the people who think that bringing down Mastercard is going to help Wikileaks in any way need a serious reality check.
Why would anyone do business with someone if there was even a tiny chance that they would get screwed over the next day to the tune of MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars. The fact that mastercard.com is down and their SecureCode service is offline has already cost thousands of small businesses millions of dollars. Do you think these companies are going to support something like Wikileaks after this event?

- brass_cannon 16y agoExcept your assertion requires that the availability of imported tea was an essential component to the American Revolution's success. The founders didn't reduce their available resources by making people less likely to import tea. Anon has reduced Wikileaks' available resources by making people less likely to facilitate donations to them.
