How I Became To Know Of Julian Assange

I heard of Julian Assange around the time he was either made famous for Wiki-leaks or when he got arrested. I don't remember which scenario I started to know about him on a regular basis, but Saturday Night Live cast member Bill Hader's impressions of Julian made me more aware of who he was, if not what he exactly does. After seeing a video from TED.com in class, I have some new found respect for Assange. Leaking information that comes from whistle blowers isn't a crime and all, if most, information is legitimate to release. The only leak that I question is the one of the US soldiers laughing at the death they witness on a daily basis. Some say its conditioning or that they have no human decency, but I just say, tell the truth about the situation. Was there laughing taken out of context or are they legitimate jar heads, as really messed up army men are called.

Anyway, below is a video of a hilarious Bill Hader skit as Julian Assange.
