Plenty of material is available online if you want to read up the...

While CNN heroes are truly remarkable people, that they would not select Julian Assange for the panel speaks louder than their TV channel ever can: CNN is but an extension of the US Gov and an active one at that in foreign policy.
Julian has reportedly been on the run living out of two suitcases one of which is his laptop, ever since his WikiLeaks first published the Afghan Tapes. Or was it even...
