SPECIAL JULIAN ASSANGE REPORT

To catch up on the latest fast moving Julian Assange/Wikileaks story, Little Darwin suggests readers view the DEMOCRACY NOW! online report of June 20 presented by award winning American investigative journalist, Amy Goodman, who with Allan Nairn was beaten by Indonesian troops while covering the East Timor struggle. It contains an informative interview with American attorney, Michael Ratner , of the Centre for Constitutional Rights , who says Assange would “ never see the light of day” if he went to Sweden and was extradited to the US. In the US he could face life imprisonment or execution for exposing war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan and the hypocrisy of the US State Department . The report is also available on the Nation of Change Progressive Journalism website which includes a video of the Ratner interview .
