Julian Assange finally goes home. Julian Assange of the online news agency known as Wikileaks had to wonder if this day would ever come, for he faced not only the enmity of governments including, of course, the U. S. government, but of most of the media, for he scooped them with ease.
His work unveiled the true face of imperial war, especially regarding the Iraq War, where Americans killed civilians with impunity. That made him an enemy of the State, but it didn’t unmake him as a journalist. In fact, many of the same media that attacked him saw no problem with using his scoops and reports.
He spent years in detention in a foreign embassy and later in British custody. Most of his staunchest supporters never wavered, and finally he made his way home.
With love, not fear, this is Mumia Abu-Jamal.
