Story about it here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8504972.stm
Proposal for a parliamentary resolution
for Iceland to strongly position itself legally with regard to the protection of freedoms of expression and information.
Parliament resolves to task the government with finding ways to strengthen freedoms of expression and information freedom in Iceland, as well as providing strong protections for sources and whistleblowers.
In this work, the international team of experts that assisted in the creation of this proposal should be utilized.
To this end,
the legal environment should be explored such that the goals can be defined and changes to law or new law proposals can be prepared.
the legal environments of other countries should be considered, with the view to assemble the best laws to make Iceland leading in freedoms of expression and information.
the first Icelandic international prize should be established, The Icelandic Freedom of Expression Award.
With the goal of improving democracy, as firm grounding will be made for publishing, whilst improving Iceland's standing in the international community.

A jolly good idea, well done Iceland.
Someone needs to bung WikiLeaks a few bob though.

Not much chance of a financial prudence award being awarded over there though.

It would be a little difficult to force them to stay in after dark - that's October to March over there!

Bullshit! the central Reykjavík bus station is rammed with chavvy teens until about midnight most nights of the week. They behave well enough for me not to give a shit though
edit: ok just I just read up ignore me on the curfew
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

As long as I get two half pittances I'm happy. Will be dead in a couple of years after I'm eligible so as long as I have enough for food and beer I don't give a fuck.
As far as I'm concerned David Irving should get the first Icelandic freedom of expression award. I don't agree with his hypotheses but I agree even less with the fact that he is subject to arrest in several states for airing them.
