Whistleblower Julian Assange

is the journalist who created WikiLeaks. 90,000 secret NATO documents related to America's war in Afghanistan, he has published there. He is best known for a video filmed by the camera at an American helicopter gunship in Iraq, showing how they shoot to death a dozen civilians, including two reporters from Reuters. At the risk of his own safety, he has revealed America's dirty wars and assaults on civilians. The administration in Washington want to conceal their crimes and are chasing Assange. If caught he awaits punishment in the United States.

The world needs upstanding individuals who directs the light to atrocities even if the perpetrators are among the most powerful. Then you need people like Assange with courage and sense of what is right and wrong.
