In a reversal of course, PayPal has released funds remaining in an account associated with WikiLeaks according to a post on PayPal's blog.

Last week, a statement from PayPal indicated, the company had suspended the account following claims by the U.S. that the activities of WikiLeaks violated the law.

Now it appears attacks from the supporters of WikiLeaks have caused PayPal to re-think their position.

PayPal returns money they confiscated? Somehow it feels like I've seen everything now.
