Through WikiLeaks, a whistleblowing site, Mr Assange released huge tranches of secret documents. In 2010 the site published footage of an American helicopter crew firing at civilians in Iraq, along with records suggesting that civilian casualties in Afghanistan were higher than previously reported. Rather than releasing information selectively Mr Assange published reams of classified documents with scant regard for their contents. On may 20th the High Court in London ruled that Julian Assange should be granted a hearing on a new appeal against his extradition to America. Mr Assange, the co-founder of WikiLeaks and an Australian national, has been fighting for more than 13 years to remain in Britain. Why do you think Mr Asasange’s case is taking too long ?
