WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was charged by the U.S. with conspiracy to hack a government computer. The indictment, issued last year in the state of Virginia, alleges that Assange conspired in 2010 with former U.S. Army Intelligence Analyst Chelsea Manning to access classified information on Department of Defense computers. He faces up to five years in jail. We’ll discuss Assange’s arrest and what it means for the future of WikiLeaks and for freedom of the press.
