FBI Banned from Iceland
 

Nice work Iceland, but you will be punished; an example will be made :2 cents:

REYKJAVÍK (Rixstep) ? FBI agents landed in Reykjavík without prior notification in an attempt to investigate WikiLeaks operations in the country, but Home Secretary Ögmundur Jónasson found out about the visit and forced them to leave the country, with the Icelandic government then issuing a formal protest to US authorities, according to Islandsbloggen.

The hunt for WikiLeaks by the US has on several occasions involved private individuals and companies on Iceland. Authorities in the US have for example succeeded in obtaining account information from Twitter on parliamentarian Birgitta Jónsdóttir. Jónsdóttir today refuses to travel to the US out of fear of being arrested for her connections with WikiLeaks.

"The story was revealed in an Icelandic national broadcaster RUV report on 30 January 2013 by WikiLeaks spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson. Hrafnsson explains.

'The FBI arrived in private planes and landed at the Reykjavík airport. According to my sources, which are highly reliable and which I have been able to corroborate, news of the visit reached Home Secretary Ögmundur Jónasson who reacted sharply, as it was unbelievably presumptuous to come to Iceland that way. According to my sources, Jónasson demanded that the FBI agents pack their bags, get back onboard, and leave the country. The matter was then brought before the cabinet and a formal protest was issued to US authorities.'

Ögmundur Jónasson corroborates for Morgunblaðið that FBI agents arrived on Iceland and remained in the country a few days. He claims he doesn't know how many there were, but that it was out of the question that a foreign power be allowed to conduct private investigations of Icelandic citizens and their activities in the country:

'I can corroborate this took place in August 2011. Agents from the FBI arrived in Iceland. They'll have to answer for what their plans were. I can also corroborate that they wanted to get the cooperation of the national police and the national prosecutor's office.'"

Iceland is certainly making all the right moves. Good on them for asserting their sovereignty and kicking the FBI out. :thumbsup

"without prior notification"

they are not banned there is a concept named sovereignty

And where do you live America or Canada?

Lol, and why would that be?

:stoned

ADG

Always wanted to visit beautiful country of Iceland.

Fuck it. Send in the CIA.

Nice to see Iceland has a sac.

Can they also ban Bam so he can't make any more idiotic music videos there....

Funny. We should just go in by force... WTF is Iceland really gonna be able to do?

considering the close relations Iceland has with Russia, probably a lot.

course an idiot won't know that......

mind you your statement says a lot about how you conduct your real life. Basically as a bully - which translates to coward.

They are going after a company for pirating USA content. Harboring a fugitive in the USA is a crime, Iceland protecting these pirates is the same thing.

Fuck Iceland!

Really? Just invade Iceland? By your *ahem* logic, the US should feel free to "just go in by force" to any country in which any citizen of said country has a connection to wikileaks?

Jesus Fucking Christ, Ed. :disgust

They sure do:thumbsup

In the aftermath of the financial crisis that nearly destroyed their country, they cleaned up the mess and put the Banksters/Fraudsters in jail.

The US? Umm..not so much. Quite the opposite, actually...

Good job :thumbsup

They pretty much already do, At least for this it would be from theft of US property, Not to steal oil or whatever.

You guys take internet statements to fucking serious, Lighten up :)

Retarded fucking Americans think they own the world.

Is THAT where my Mum went ?

I miss her... :(


:helpme

Anyone else notice this part of the story...


"I can corroborate this took place in August 2011"


18 months ago. Whatever was going to happen, has already happened.

We? What are you planning on doing to do, hit them with your space bar?

Ok, that was funny :)

Iceland investigators banned from USA

It's ok, she's brining back fish fingers.

US arrogance given a taste of their own medicine.

:2 cents: BINGO! :2 cents:

:thumbsup:thumbsup

/thread :2 cents:

this must be a troll post. Why the fuck would you as a citizen want your government officials 'go in by force' into another country? Are you sane? What the fuck have iceland done to you? "oh my god, Iceland is minding their own business too much and as a result their economy is the only one on earth that isnt so deep in the shitter. We should invade them!"

Whats the "scandal", I assume FBI has no jurisdiction to work outside US.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

like most other euro countries, iceland has no standing army and the united states is responsible for the defense of iceland
course an idiot would not know that.

iceland, just like most other euro nations, relying on the united states military for defense whilst pointing their finger at us for being the bad guys.

maybe if iceland had to pay for its own defense, their economy would be different.

I said go in by force and get the pirates, I didn't say go start a war.

So you all are saying that if a pirate like Kim Lives in another country the USA should just mind their own business? Fair enough, But then we shouldn't help that country in any way, and block all internet and trade from that country too.

Punished ? STFU

how much does having no base or troops there cost? :winkwink:

And Iceland pays for being a NATO member - even if they have no army (for what?)
