WikiLeaks Founder Gets Show on Russian TV

Controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has a new talk show that will be broadcast on the Kremlin-funded English-language TV channel RT, formerly known as Russia Today, the station said. The RT statement said Assange is filming the series from the location of his house arrest in Britain. He is currently fighting extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted on sex crimes allegations. United States officials are weighing possible charges linked to the leaks, the biggest disclosures of secret documents in U.S. history. WikiLeaks said on its site that "iconoclasts, visionaries and power insiders" would be invite them to the show so that Assange could challenge their vision of world affairs and "their ideas on how to secure a brighter future."
