"PayPal has lifted its ban on the account of Courage to Resist, an organization that has raised a substantial portion of the funds needed for the legal defense of Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old former U.S. army private accused of leaking classified U.S. information to WikiLeaks in 2010.\nIn a blog post, PayPal declared that the original suspension had nothing to do with the organization's support of Bradley Manning. Rather, the account had been suspended because it had failed to comply with a stated policy that requires non-profits to link a bank account to their PayPal account.\n\"Upon review, and as part of our normal business procedures, we have decided to lift the temporary restriction placed on their account because we have sufficient information to meet our statutory \u2018Know Your Customer\u2019 obligations. The Courage to Resist PayPal account is now fully operational,\" Anuj Nayar, PayPal's director of communications, wrote.\nThe explanation was posted in response to a widely circulated blog post on the Bradley Manning Support Network's website Thursday, which accused the payment service of suspending the account because of its fundraising efforts on Manning's behalf.\nManning has been held in solitary confinement in Quantico, Virginia, since June 2010, and is not expected to face court martial until October 2011. His legal defense is estimated to cost more than $100,000.\nThe ban on WikiLeaks's PayPal account remains in place.\nImage courtesy of Wired"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
