Well - another big twist in the long-running saga:
AP: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will plead guilty in deal with US and be freed from prison
Reuters: Julian Assange to be freed after pleading guilty to US espionage charge
Mr. Assange's Wikipedia entry if you need a basic recap (I've followed this ordeal closely but still needed a refresher): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Assange
And a basic summary of the WikiLeaks saga from Wikipedia, another good refresher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks
So what's your opinion of Mr. Assange? Do you think his exposures are heroic, or do you think the violations of personal privacy and leaking of classified information (and occasional promotion of misinformation) do more damage than good?
