And: "The request for my tweet information is from the US department of justice" And now: "department of justice are requesting twitter to provide the info - i got 10 days to stop it via legal process before twitter hands it over."

4:25 Not sure what to make of this but here goes: Birgitta Jonsdottir, a member of the Icelandic parliament (she represents citizens movements), t weeted one hour ago: "just got this: Twitter has received legal process requesting information regarding your Twitter account in (relation to wikileaks)" Then "usa government wants to know about all my tweets and more since november 1st 2009. do they realize i am a member of parliament in iceland?" Then: "i think i am being given a message, almost like someone breathing in a phone..." And: "waiting for some legal advice before i will make this a foreign affairs issue."
