protect them, by calling us terrorists! i mean it's not right to call us terrorists it's a bit harsh... I think that what happened is really bad but this is ridiculous! I'm from Iceland and it isn't like we have much money, i mean I'm in a pretty rich school, or well it was before the crisis now we had to cancel our musical (we have it once per third year so everybody has a chance to be in it) It's not like we are terrorists, we didn't mean for all this to happen. Sure we have this shit going on but every Saturday until Christmas 10% of the population demonstrated to get a new government or something..

This is absolutely ridiculous. I can see why they'd do it, but they'd better issue a very real apology after this whole fiasco.

It happens when anti terrorist laws are used for purposes other than fighting terrorism. They are open to abuse, and in this case, they were used to protect Britain from economic fallout from the Icelandic financial meltdown. Iceland would probably have gone under anyway, whether it was the right thing to do or not I do not know.

That is absolutely crazy. Bizzare. Is it legal,? Does not it violate some kind of international law? When exactly did this happen?
