US Intell planned to destroy Wikileaks

[quote=Helen Reyes]Iceland is in a geopolitically significant part of the "North Atlantic", and an Icelandic Camp Bondsteel, with military grade runways, radar, listening posts etc, would be militarily valuable as part of NATO's encirclement of the Russian Bear.

... as made vividly clear in the book "Red Storm Rising" and, to a lesser extent, in "The Hunt for Red October". Militarily, it is a critical piece of real estate, ice and volcanoes to the side.

Actually the heat under those volcanoes are a source of almost free electricity (and zero emission to boot) through geo thermal plants to run an energy grid for millennia. Not to mention the money to be made from carbon trading credits.
