Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, is on the run and has be not only abandoned by his own government, but by his colleagues as well. Wikileaks is a website established to stockpile government secrets and then release them global with the press of a button. The most recent release was a cache of over 391,000 documents on the War in Iraq. Assange, failed to remove the names of the Afghan intelligence sources for NATO troops, which were on top of most of the documents. Assange is a renowned computer hacker who escaped going to jail on 25 charges of computer hacking back in 1995. His actions are being reviewed in accordance with the 1917 espionage act. Following review the United States and it's allies will make a decision. For now the 39-year old Australian will continue to live and flee in a state of paranoia, dyeing his hair, sleeping in random places, and watching his every step.
