Wikileaks: Assange Off-Stage, Materials Center-Stage

In an April BBC news report, it is curious to find not Julian Assange the topic of discussion, rather the content surfacing through the founder's website.

The controversial founder of Wikileaks, awaits trial in Sweden after having been extradited from the United Kingdom on sexual assault charges while data not intended to be released by the U.S. government continues to capture public attention.

As embers still fuel the frequent but erratic debates over the Guatanamo Bay prison camp, reports of confessions to terrorist plots and participation in terrorist activities from detainees emerge to once again stoke the slow burning fire. In this article, the author, Nuala McGovern argues that these recently leaked documents provide proof that legitimate, self-proclaimed terrorists are held in Guantanamo. McGovern goes on to explain that the documents are significant because it gives proponents of maintaining this camp located on the U.S. Naval base  in southwestern Cuba.

As Assange inertly awaits his July 12th trial in a ten-acre English estate, his website, which leaks confidential documents to an information-devouring public, continues to play an active role in recent polemics.
