Wikileaks founder arrested in London



Thanks to a website called, "Wikileaks" anyone can now access documents that the United States once tried to keep secret. These documents ranged from United States procedures in afghanistan to insults directed to Kim Jong Il.

Now the man who made all this information public, Julian Assange(a 39-year-old Austrailian Journalist) has been arrested in London-but not for the reasons most people would expect.

The warrent for Assange's arrest was issued by Sweeden. He will be questioned in Sweeden for, "allegations of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion." Assange says these claims are false.

A spokesperson for wikileaks said that despite Assange's arrest, the website will continue to release documents-much to Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton's, dismay. Clinton says the release of these cables is dangerous to America and its allies.
