Quote:The possible triggers:
* our ongoing work on a classified film revealing civilian casualties occurring under the command of the U.S, general, David Petraeus.
* our release of a classified 32 page US intelligence report on how to fatally marginalize WikiLeaks (expose our sources, destroy our reputation for integrity, hack us).
* our release of a classified cable from the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik reporting on contact between the U.S. and the U.K. over billions of euros in claimed loan guarantees.
* pending releases related to the collapse of the Icelandic banks and Icelandic “oligarchs”.

Our production meeting used a discreet, closed, backroom, because we were working on the analysis of a classified U.S. military video showing civilian kills by U.S. pilots.
It's clear from the descriptions of the extent of the surveillance and detention activities that WikiLeaks has some information which They (in the Pynchonian sense) do not want to become public knowledge.
However, from the description of the information disclosed during interrogation, Icelandic police/spooks appear to have access to a lot of surveillance material.
Are Icelandic police/spooks running the operation? Or being used by the real powers here, who remain in the shadows?
My instinct is the latter.
