Agreed, but look at the root source.  Would you want to be an accessory to
material support of a terrorist in this day an age?  They don't dare turn a
blind eye.

Now if we could just get health insurance and pharmaceutical companies to
fear that kind of allegation somehow.  I mean, for once the government has
actually cowed big business with something like PayPal above.  Too bad it
can't be put to good use to -actually- protect the populace from harm.

At any rate, it doesn't surprise me that PayPal either self-monitors, or
caves to the government.  What it did was tick me off when they yanked
WikiLeaks' usage of PayPal.  I don't even -read- WikiLeaks...  It's a
matter of principle...they caved, one way or another.
