I'm Swedish and I approve of this message.

This is definitely a problem and might give a wrong picture of what is being said.

We could easily manage, create LED lamps, etc..

I 3 E.U. FOR DOING THIS. :))

They actually have some of the top financial analysts in the world, son.

ok.. ?

I think you are very misinformed.

If only google implemented Java instead of some incompatible clone, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Nothing, I think it's advertisement for advertisement. How ironic. If only we also got to get on slashdot for inventing a new function().

Or it's a sort of thing that only get's leaked to the media for some reward, then they maybe sell it to other news organizations.

It appears to be one of those things that only gets reported to the media. I like the guardian article posted above by someone, it seems to give a complete picture of the events.

Where is this leaked document? I'd like to read it since the media often likes to give the wrong picture.

Sorry but PayPal acted in accordance with their policy. Wikileaks IS trying to get people to do illegal acts by creating a safe-heaven specifically for stolen and leaked material.

"(1) the leaking of the investigation by prosecutor Maria Kjellstrand to rightwing tabloids, in violation of Swedish secrecy laws"
This is not remarkable with Assange's case, most high-profile cases end up leaked if there's enough interest from the public to find out the facts. And it's not even clear if the secrecy law protects a non-Swedish citizen.

"(3) the fact that Chief Prosecutor Eva Finnes threw out the case initially, after reviewing the fact that the two women got together (corrupting the evidence and conspiring ...."
They appealed the decision, as is allowed with any other case.

"(4) the fact that when Assange and his attorneys attempted to communicate with the Swedish Prosecution Authority for 41 days straight, they were refused -- because not a single magistrate at that time would take on such a farce of a case"
Nobody gets the privilege that Assange was asking for, to meet with the prosecutor in another country because of their personal reasons.

"(5) the law only recently been written up, specifically for Wikileaks' Assange, WHILE they were actually submitting their Interpol warrant"
It is unclear which law you're referring to, I haven't heard of this and I've been following this case.

I'm not against Wikileaks but they knew what they were getting themselves into when they started their operations, now they'll simply have to manage the repercussions.

And by just using the tool one has shown the intent of performing the flood to cause disruption of service.

They wouldn't be prosecuting people behind a randomly picked IP, that was sending flood traffic to Mastercard. Maybe only those causing the biggest floods, you can't hide your technical knowledge if they just break down one's door and take the computer in for analysis.
