If you wonder why U.K. is using using anti-terrorism legislation to humble Iceland the answer is quite simple:

The U.K. (and NATO) are engaged into a war to take over Artic (where Iceland has a legitimate share)

Of course, that theory is shot down by (a) reality and (b) Iceland’s lack of a claim to the Arctic. Don’t believe everything you think of when reading the Economist or not wearing your tin-foil hat.

Although I couldn’t follow what was said or exactly what his position is (regulatory/police?), Helgi Magnus Gunnarsson looked totally demoralised.

Also spotted Bjarni from Iceland Review :) .

Is this a bad case of should have checked her facts first, or does she know something that hasn’t hit the press? Bearing in mind that I find it highly unlikely that something hasn’t been reported.

This is a direct translation of what she spoke which is different to the interpretation of what she said as reflected in what you quoted in your post above
Eva Joly
“Indeed, at the very start of October, the UK began with a measure of extreme retaliation: freezing of the assets of not only Landsbanki but also Kaupthing Bank, which was totally unconnected to Icesave, using its anti-terrorism legislation”

Assets were frozen in both banks, the Anti terrorism legislation was used.
You could make a case that she implied the ATA was used against Kaupthing.
But It is a moot point whether assets were frozen in Kaupthing with using the ATA or a Banking Law. It is taking pedantry way too serious in the context of the substance of her article. It is the substance of the deal which seriously interests most people in Iceland, not whether Eva crossed her T’s.

NRK – Norwegian public state television – had a story on Iceland banks in November 2008.

It is Jon Gerald Sullenberger that is guide in the beginning… (We know he is not the best friend of Jon Asgeir Johannesson).

Some part of the program is in English – some is in Norwegian.

You can try and see if you get something out of it.

LOL. I haven’t heard that in a few years… It must be desperate times here in UK if we’re reminiscing about a woman who introduced the poll tax and caused riots!
