Þú mátt ekki lemja mig núna þá trekki ég svo illa um helgina, sagði skækjan við dólginn

Summary
(en) This document presents an e-mail communication chain between Indriði H. Þorláksson, appointed to negotiate the Icesave debt on behalf of the Icelandic government, and Mark Flanagan of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Flanagan is the IMF's mission chief for Iceland, and was appointed subsequent to the recent Icelandic banking crisis.

Most notably, Indriði suggests to postpone the negotiations on "a loan agreement along the previous lines (increased governmental debt)" until after the elections on April 25, calling it "politically impossible to accomplish".

In an interview with IMF Survey in February 2009, Flanagan suggested that the "elections need not interrupt the program", stating that other countries had experienced similar negotiations while elections were held[1].

Although Indriði is negotiating one of the most serious agreements in Iceland's history, he tells the IMF's Mark Flanagan to contact him at his personal "mac.com" email address, potentially taking subsequent negotiations outside the Icelandic government's archive (former Alaskan governor and Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, whose email's were released by WikiLeaks faced legal action for using private email addresses to hide government correspondence chains.)

Part of the email chain appears on a list of classified documents related to Icesave which are viewable only by members of the Icelandic parliament.[2].

The email shows that at least some of the negotiation between the IMF and Iceland took place over insecure email, sent via British internet links. According to numerous press investigations, the British intelligence agency GCHQ automatically intercepts such emails as they pass through British territory.
