Who is Osama bin Laden?

Osama bin Laden is the world's most wanted terrorist, most recently linked to the September 11 attacks on New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon, which killed approximately 5,000 people.

Bin Laden was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to a Yemeni family in 1957. His late father owned a major Saudi construction business and bin Laden became immensely wealthy through his inheritance, estimated at over $250 million.

But, despite growing up in privilege, bin Laden left Saudi Arabia in 1979 to join rebels fighting against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Ironically, the Afghan resistance was primarily backed by American dollars and military aid. According to Middle Eastern analyst Hazhir Teimourian, bin Laden even received training from the CIA itself.

While fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, bin Laden founded the Maktab al-Khidimat. The MAK recruited Muslim fighters from around the world and sought out military aid to use in the struggle.

However, according to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), who spent time with Afghani freedom fighters, as early as 1988 "bin Laden was so crazy that he wanted to kill Americans as much as he wanted to kill Russians."

In 1989, bin Laden founded al Qaeda ("The Base"). It wouldn't be long before al Qaeda transformed itself into an international terrorist network and began carrying out attacks on U.S. interests around the world.

But first, Bin Laden returned to Saudi Arabia after the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan and rejoined his family's construction business. Shortly thereafter, in the summer of 1990, Iraq invaded neighboring Kuwait and threatened Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden reportedly offered his services to the Saudi government to help defend against an Iraqi invasion of the kingdom, he was rebuffed. Although the Saudis had resisted at first, then-U.S. Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney (now Vice President) and U.S. military commanders convinced King Saud that only rapidly deployed American military forces would be enough to deter Iraq from invading and quickly overrunning Saudi defenses.

As a formidable amount of American military support and troops poured into Saudi Arabia, bin Laden became incensed. He claimed that the "infidels" were defiling the Muslim holy places and agitated for withdraw of Western coalition troops. When American military forces remained in Saudi Arabia, at the request of the Saudi government when the Gulf War ended in early 1991, bin Laden's continued outspoken opposition led to his being expelled from the kingdom.

In 1991, bin Laden established a headquarters for al Qaeda in Khartoum, Sudan, spending the next five years there. U.S. pressure eventually led the Sudanese government to expel him from that country and bin Laden thereby returned to Afghanistan.

What terrorist attacks are linked to Osama bin Laden?

The U.S. State Department calls bin Laden "one of the most significant sponsors of Islamic extremist activities in the world today."

After his exile from Saudi Arabia, bin Laden issued a number of fatwahs (rulings on Islamic law) stating that American forces stationed in Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia should be attacked.

According to U.S. authorities, bin Laden was involved in at least three major terrorist attacks against U.S. interests prior to 1999:

February 1993 - World Trade Center bombing, killing 6 persons and injuring over 1,000
June 1996 - Bomb attack in Saudi Arabia, killing 19 U.S. soldiers
August 1998 - U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, resulting in 224 deaths

Shortly after the African embassy bombings, the United States launched Tomahawk cruise missile strikes against an alleged chemical weapons facility operated by bin Laden operatives in Sudan and terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. Reportedly, bin Laden left one camp shortly before it was devastated in a missile attack.

In addition, U.S. authorities believe that al Qaeda members "provided military training and assistance to Somali tribes opposed to the United Nations' intervention in Somalia." On October 3-4, 1993, attacks against U.S. Army personnel in Mogadishu, Somalia resulted in the deaths of 18 U.S. soldiers.

After the 1998 embassy bombings, Bin Laden's acts of terror grew even bolder, with attempts to attack U.S. naval vessels and targets within the United States.

On January 3, 2000, an attack on the USS The Sullivans, a U.S. navy destroyer, failed when the alleged attack boat sank in the port of Aden, Yemen.

Around the same time, U.S. law enforcement personnel arrested Ahmed Ressam, who they believed was planning several terrorist attacks on West Coast targets, including Los Angeles International Airport, coinciding with the Millennium celebrations.

Then, on October 12, 2000, the U.S. navy destroyer USS Cole was attacked by an explosive-packed boat that rammed the ship during its refueling stop in Aden. Seventeen U.S. sailors were killed, 39 wounded and a $1 billion modern warship was crippled.

But, most troubling to Americans who believe that a massive intelligence failure led to the September 11, 2001 attacks is a failed terrorist attack in 1995, also believed to be linked to Osama bin Laden.

Philippine police in Manila had discovered a clandestine terrorist cell allied with bin Laden that was plotting to plant bombs in a dozen American airliners. Even more ominous was a report that the terrorists also planned to commandeer an airliner and crash it into CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. The bomb plot was discovered when one of the terrorists accidentally caused a fire while mixing chemicals. Philippine authorities insist that they passed on all of this information to the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Joint Task Force on Terrorism, but that U.S. authorities did not give it credibility.

When the terrorist attacks in the United States occurred on September 11, it was immediately speculated that Osama bin Laden was behind them -- and, indeed, the United States and its allies now claim that evidence ties bin Laden to the attacks. Approximately 5,000 civilians were killed when two hijacked commercial airliners, loaded with highly flamable aviation fuel for transcontinental flights, were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, eventually causing the collapse of the towers and several surrounding buildings. A third aircraft was commandeered and flown into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, resulting in nearly 200 deaths. A fourth aircraft, widely believed to be targeting the U.S. Capitol complex, crashed in Pennsylvania, likely the result of a struggle between the hijackers and passengers determined to stop the plane from being used as another missile.

Although the U.S. has only released some of the evidence linking bin Laden to the attacks, there existed additional warning signs that, had they been acted upon properly by U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials, might have helped to prevent the tragic events of September 11th.

In August 2001, a suspected Algerian terrorist, Zacarias Moussaoui, was picked up in Minnesota on immigration charges after a flight simulator training school tipped off authorities that Moussaoui had offered cash to learn only how to "steer" a jumbo jet and apparently wasn't interested in practicing take-offs and landings.

When told of Moussaoui's arrest, French intelligence authorities notified the FBI that Moussaoui was linked to bin Laden and that the Saudi dissident was training his terrorists to fly commercial aircraft. The French, having thwarted an attempt by hijackers to crash an airliner into the Eiffel Tower in 1994, apparently understood the seriousness of the matter.

Despite these ominous signs, U.S. authorities did not alert commercial airlines to be alert of the possible takeover of cockpit controls by terrorists, nor did they increase the alert status of U.S. fighter aircraft should an interception be neccessary.

Where does Osama bin Laden's financial and military support come from?

Reportedly worth over $250 million, bin Laden has tapped into his financial wealth to help fund his al Qaeda terrorist network.

However, he has also raised enormous funds from both direct supporters and from indirect, perhaps even innocent supporters of charitable front groups throughout the world.

Bin Laden's network is also suspected of profiting directly from the terrorist attacks by shorting the stock of major U.S. airlines, that of airline manufacturer Boeing, and several brokerage firms that suffered severe casualties when the World Trade Center was attacked. Shorting of a stock occurs when a buyer essential sells a stock at a higher price while promising to buy it on a specific date later), thus profiting from the difference if the price drops.(A trader would lose money if the stock went up at the purchase date.)

On September 24, 2001, the United States froze the assets of the following organizations believed to be supporting terrorism:

Al Qaida/Islamic Army
Abu Sayyaf Group
Armed Islamic Group (GIA)
Harakat ul-Mujahidin (HUM)
Al-Jihad (Egyptian Islamic Jihad)
Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU)
Asbat al-Ansar

Where is Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization based?

After being expelled from Sudan, bin Laden set up shop again in Afghanistan. However, it is believed he also has terrorist cells operating in over 45 countries. However, intelligence officials believe that most of the terrorist indoctrination and training occurs within Afghanistan.

Due to fear of U.S. air attacks, bin Laden reportedly stays no more than a few days in any given place. He also utilizes a network of deep underground caves to remain elusive.

The ruling Taliban government of Afghanistan says it considers bin Laden a guest. However, U.S. officials believe the the Taliban and al Qaeda are actually dependent upon each other. Therefore, many analysts have mixed opinions on just who controls whom in Afghanistan.

Al Qaeda has also formed alliances with similar Islamic fundamentalist groups, such as Egypt's Al Jihad, Iran's Hezbollah and Sudan's National Islamic Front. In addition, the U.S. believes that bin Laden is working with jihad groups in Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen.

What is Osama bin Laden attempting to achieve through terrorism?

One of al Qaeda's earliest demands has been for the removal of the U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden views the current monarchy as corrupt and that only U.S. military support can continue to prop it up. However, there is nothing to warrant this concern, absent a revolutionary movement in the kingdom led by someone like bin Laden.

Some analysts believe that bin Laden hopes to create enough causalities on the United States so as to make that country withdraw military forces throughout the region. The counter argument to this is why, then, would bin Laden take actions that would lead to an increase in American military might in the region?

One possible answer is that he wishes to cause increased resentment towards the West, as well as towards the Western-tilting governments in the region. Of greatest concern is the situation in Pakistan. As bin Laden has made no secret about his desire to acquire nuclear weapons, one possible goal may be to destabilize the current government of President Pervez Musharraf.

Another potential target may be the Saudi royal family. Paul Michael Wihbey, writing for the London Daily Telegraph, believes that bin Laden's real goal is to overthrow the House of Saud and thereby threaten the stability of Western economies through the control of much of the world's oil supply. Read Wihbey's article.

Still other analysts believe that bin Laden's ultimate goal is to overthrow most of the current governments in the region and create a large fundamentalist Islamic state in the region.

Although bin Laden's propaganda efforts of late have tried to embrace the Palestinian cause for self-governing statehood, few analyst believe that bin Laden is too troubled about the plight of the Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza.

Julian Paul Assange (born 3 July 1971) is an Australian journalist, publisher and Internet activist. He is best known as the spokesperson andeditor in chief for WikiLeaks, a whistleblower website. Before working with the website, he was a computer programmer. He has lived in several countries, and has made occasional public appearances to speak about freedom of the press, censorship, and investigative journalism.

Assange founded the controversial WikiLeaks website in 2006 and serves on its advisory board. In this capacity, he has been involved in publishing material about extrajudicial killings in Kenya,toxic waste dumping in Africa, Church of Scientology manuals, Guantanamo Bay procedures, and banks such as Kaupthing and Julius Baer. In 2010, he published classified details aboutUnited States involvement in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Then, on 28 November 2010, WikiLeaks and its five media partners began publishing secret U.S. diplomatic cables.

On 30 November 2010, at the request of the International Public Prosecution Office inGothenburg, Sweden, Interpol placed Assange on its red notice list of wanted persons; he was wanted for questioning on suspicion of sexual offenses, and voluntarily submitted to theLondon Metropolitan Police on 7 December 2010. Assange denies the accusations made against him.

Early life

Assange was born in Townsville, Queensland, and spent much of his youth living on Magnetic Island. Assange's parents ran a touring theatre company. In 1979, his mother, Christine, remarried; her new husband was a musician who belonged to a controversial New Age group led by Anne Hamilton-Byrne. The couple had a son, but broke up in 1982 and engaged in a custody struggle for Assange's half-brother. His mother then took both children into hiding for the next five years. Assange moved several dozen times during his childhood, attending many schools, sometimes being home schooled, and later attending several universities at various times in Australia.

Hacking

In 1987, after turning 16, Assange began hacking under the name "Mendax" (derived from a phrase of Horace: "splendide mendax," or "nobly untruthful"). He and two other hackers joined to form a group which they named the International Subversives. Assange wrote down the early rules of the subculture: "Don’t damage computer systems you break into (including crashing them); don’t change the information in those systems (except for altering logs to cover your tracks); and share information".

In response to the hacking, the Australian Federal Police raided his Melbourne home in 1991. He was reported to have accessed computers belonging to an Australian university; the Canadian telecommunications company Nortel, and other organisations, viamodem. In 1992, he pleaded guilty to 24 charges of hacking and was released on bond for good conduct after being fined AU$2100. The prosecutor said "there is just no evidence that there was anything other than sort of intelligent inquisitiveness and the pleasure of being able to—what's the expression—surf through these various computers".

Assange later commented, "It's a bit annoying, actually. Because I cowrote a book about [being a hacker], there are documentaries about that, people talk about that a lot. They can cut and paste. But that was 20 years ago. It's very annoying to see modern day articles calling me a computer hacker. I'm not ashamed of it, I'm quite proud of it. But I understand the reason they suggest I'm a computer hacker now. There's a very specific reason."

Child custody issues

In 1989, Assange started living with his girlfriend and they had a son, Daniel. She separated from him after the 1991 police raid and took their son. They engaged in a lengthy custody struggle, and did not agree on a custody arrangement until 1999. The entire process prompted Assange and his mother to form Parent Inquiry into Child Protection, an activist group centered on creating a "central databank" for otherwise inaccessible legal records related to child custody issues in

Australia

Computer programming and university studies

In 1993, Assange was involved in starting one of the first public internet service providers in Australia, Suburbia Public Access Network. Starting in 1994, Assange lived in Melbourne as a programmer and a developer of free software. In 1995, Assange wrote Strobe, the first free and open source port scanner. He contributed several patches to the PostgreSQL project in 1996. He helped to write the book Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the Electronic Frontier (1997), which credits him as a researcher and reports his history with International Subversives. Starting around 1997, he co-invented the Rubberhose deniable encryption system, acryptographic concept made into a software package for Linux designed to provide plausible deniability against rubber-hose cryptanalysis; he originally intended the system to be used "as a tool for human rights workers who needed to protect sensitive data in the field." Otherfree software that he has authored or co-authored includes the Usenet caching software NNTPCache and Surfraw, a command-line interface for web-based search engines. In 1999, Assange registered the domain leaks.org; "But", he says, "then I didn't do anything with it."

Assange has reportedly attended six universities. From 2003 to 2006, he studied physics and mathematics at the University of Melbourne. On his personal web page, he described having represented his university at the Australian National Physics Competitionaround 2005. He has also studied philosophy and neuroscience.

WikiLeaks

Main article: WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks was founded in 2006. That year, Assange wrote two essays setting out the philosophy behind WikiLeaks: "To radically shift regime behavior we must think clearly and boldly for if we have learned anything, it is that regimes do not want to be changed. We must think beyond those who have gone before us and discover technological changes that embolden us with ways to act in which our forebears could not." In his blog he wrote, "the more secretive or unjust an organisation is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie. ... Since unjust systems, by their nature induce opponents, and in many places barely have the upper hand, mass leaking leaves them exquisitely vulnerable to those who seek to replace them with more open forms of governance."

Assange sits on Wikileaks's nine-member advisory board, and is a prominent media spokesman on its behalf. While newspapers have described him as a "director" or "founder" of Wikileaks, Assange has said, "I don't call myself a founder"; he does describe himself as the editor in chief of WikiLeaks, and has stated that he has the final decision in the process of vetting documents submitted to the site. Like all others working for the site, Assange is an unpaid volunteer. Assange says that Wikileaks has released more classified documents than the rest of the world press combined: "That's not something I say as a way of saying how successful we are – rather, that shows you the parlous state of the rest of the media. How is it that a team of five people has managed to release to the public more suppressed information, at that level, than the rest of the world press combined? It's disgraceful." Assange advocates a "transparent" and "scientific" approach to journalism, saying that "you can't publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results; that should be the standard in journalism." In 2006, CounterPunch called him "

Australia

's most infamous former computer hacker." The Age has called him "one of the most intriguing people in the world" and "internet's freedom fighter." Assange has called himself "extremely cynical".The Personal Democracy Forum said that as a teenager he was "

Australia

's most famous ethical computer hacker." He has been described as being largely self-taught and widely read on science and mathematics, and as thriving on intellectual battle.

WikiLeaks has been involved in the publication of material documenting extrajudicial killings in Kenya, a report of toxic waste dumping on the African coast, Church of Scientology manuals, Guantanamo Bay procedures, the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike video, and material involving large banks such as Kaupthing and Julius Baer among other documents.

Public appearances

Assange in Copenhagen, 2009

In addition to exercising great authority and editorial control within WikiLeaks, Assange acts as its public face. He has appeared at media conferences such as New Media Days '09 in Copenhagen, the 2010 Logan Symposium in Investigative Reporting at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, and at hacker conferences, notably the 25th and 26th Chaos Communication Congress. In the first half of 2010, he appeared on Al Jazeera English,MSNBC, Democracy Now!, RT, and The Colbert Report to discuss the release of the Baghdad airstrike video by Wikileaks. On 3 June he appeared via videoconferencing at the Personal Democracy Forum conference with Daniel Ellsberg. Ellsberg told MSNBC "the explanation he [Assange] used" for not appearing in person in the

USA

was that "it was not safe for him to come to this country." On 11 June he was to appear on a Showcase Panel at the Investigative Reporters and Editors conference in Las Vegas, but there are reports that he cancelled several days prior. On 10 June 2010, it was reported that Pentagon officials are trying to determine his whereabouts. Based on this, there have been reports that U.S. officials want to apprehend Assange. Ellsberg said that the arrest of Bradley Manning and subsequent speculation by

U.S.

officials about what Assange may be about to publish "puts his well-being, his physical life, in some danger now." In The Atlantic, Marc Ambinder called Ellsberg's concerns "ridiculous", and said that "Assange's tendency to believe that he is one step away from being thrown into a black hole hinders, and to some extent discredits, his work." In Salon.com, Glenn Greenwald questioned "screeching media reports" that there was a "manhunt" on Assange underway, arguing that they were only based on comments by "anonymous government officials" and might even serve a campaign by the U.S. government, by intimidating possible whistleblowers.

On 21 June 2010, Assange took part at a hearing in Brussels, Belgium, appearing in public for the first time in nearly a month. He was a member on a panel that discussed Internet censorship and expressed his worries over the recent filtering in countries such as Australia. He also talked about secret gag orders preventing newspapers from publishing information about specific subjects and even divulging the fact that they are being gagged. Using an example involving The Guardian, he also explained how newspapers are altering their online archives sometimes by removing entire articles. He told The Guardian that he does not fear for his safety but is on permanent alert and will avoid travel to America, saying "[U.S.] public statements have all been reasonable. But some statements made in private are a bit more questionable." He said "politically it would be a great error for them to act. I feel perfectly safe but I have been advised by my lawyers not to travel to the

U.S.

during this period."

On 17 July, Jacob Appelbaum spoke on behalf of WikiLeaks at the 2010 Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference in New York City, replacing Assange due to the presence of federal agents at the conference. He announced that the WikiLeaks submission system was again up and running, after it had been temporarily suspended. Assange was a surprise speaker at a TED conference on 19 July 2010 in Oxford, and confirmed that WikiLeaks was now accepting submissions again. On 26 July, after the release of the Afghan War Diary, Assange appeared at the Frontline Club for a press conference.

Release of United States diplomatic cables

Main article: United States diplomatic cables leak

On 28 November 2010, WikiLeaks began releasing more than 251,000 American diplomatic cables, mostly unclassified but including many labelled "Confidential" or "Secret". The following day, the Attorney-General of Australia, Robert McClelland, told the press that Australia would inquire into Assange's activities and WikiLeaks. He said that "from

Australia

's point of view, we think there are potentially a number of criminal laws that could have been breached by the release of this information. The Australian Federal Police are looking at that".McClelland would not rule out the possibility that Australian authorities will cancel Assange's passport, and warned him that he might face charges should he return to Australia. McClelland also vowed to fully support any U.S. legal action against Wikileaks and Assange. Greg Barns, director of the Australian Lawyers Alliance, wrote "Mr. McClelland’s decision amounts to little more than posturing. This is because Mr. Assange would appear to have committed no crime under Australia’s suite of laws on disclosure of sensitive state information".Almost 200 public figures wrote an open letter to Julia Gillard, the Australian Prime Minister, calling on her to protect Assange. On 6 December, 2010, Robert McClelland stated that Assange is "entitled" to return to

Australia

and to receive consular assistance overseas. He also stated, however, that Australia has obligations to certain countries to provide assistance in criminal investigations.

The United States launched a criminal investigation related to the leak of US government information by Assange and WikiLeaks on 29 November. US prosecutors are reportedly preparing charges against Assange under the Espionage Act.

In a Time interview conducted after the release of the cables, Richard Stengel asked Assange whether Hillary Clinton should resign; he responded by stating, "She should resign if it can be shown that she was responsible for ordering U.S. diplomatic figures to engage in espionage in the United Nations, in violation of the international covenants to which the U.S. has signed up".

Reactions to leaking

Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that Assange "is serving our [American] democracy and serving our rule of law precisely by challenging the secrecy regulations, which are not laws in most cases, in this country." On the issue of national security considerations for the U.S. regarding Wikileaks's publication of American diplomatic cables, Ellsberg added that "He’s obviously a very competent guy in many ways. I think his instincts are that most of this material deserves to be out. We are arguing over a very small fragment that doesn’t. He has not yet put out anything that hurt anybody’s national security".

On the other hand, Daniel Yates, a former British military intelligence officer, wrote "Assange has seriously endangered the lives of Afghan civilians ... The logs contain detailed personal information regarding Afghan civilians who have approached NATO soldiers with information. It is inevitable that the Taliban will now seek violent retribution on those who have co-operated with NATO. Their families and tribes will also be in danger." Responding to the criticism, Assange said in August 2010 that 15,000 documents are still being reviewed "line by line", and that the names of "innocent parties who are under reasonable threat" will be removed. This was in response to a letter from a White House spokesman. Assange replied to the request through Eric Schmitt, a New York Times editor. This reply was Assange's offer to the White House to vet any harmful documents; Schmitt responded that "I certainly didn't consider this a serious and realistic offer to the White House to vet any of the documents before they were to be posted, and I think it's ridiculous that Assange is portraying it that way now."

Glenn Greenwald and others have criticized the media's profiles of Assange. Greenwald calls one New York Times article (written by John F. Burns) on Assange a "sleazy hit piece". Burns defended his article, saying it was an "absolutely standard journalistic endeavour"; Greenwald disputed this, saying "What Burns did to Julian Assange is most certainly not a ‘standard journalistic endeavor’ for The New York Times ... please show me any article that paper has published which trashed the mental health, psyche and personality of a high-ranking American political or military official—a Senator or a General or a President or a cabinet secretary or even a prominent lobbyist—based on quotes from disgruntled associates of theirs. That is not done, and it never would be. This kind of character smear ... is reserved for ... people without power or standing in Washington and, especially, those whom American Government authorities scorn. ... the Pentagon hates Assange and wants him destroyed, and therefore the ‘reporters’ who rely on, admire and identify with Pentagon officials immediately adopt that perspective—and that's why he was the target of this type of attack".

An editorial in the Washington Times by Jeffrey T. Kuhner said Assange should be treated "the same way as other high-value terrorist targets" and be assassinated. Former Nixon aide and talk radio host G. Gordon Liddy has reportedly suggested that Assange's name be added to the "kill list" of terrorists who can be assassinated without a trial. U.S. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell has called Assange "a high-tech terrorist". Former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich has been quoted as saying, "Information terrorism, which leads to people getting killed, is terrorism, and Julian Assange is engaged in terrorism. He should be treated as an enemy combatant." Fox News' National Security Analyst and host Kathleen Troia "K.T." McFarland has called Assange a terrorist, Wikileaks "a terrorist organization" and has called for Bradley Manning's execution if he is found guilty of making the leaks. Incoming Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Peter King, has requested the Obama administration to declare Wikileaks a "Foreign Terrorist Organization". Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mike Mullen, said, "Mr. Assange can say whatever he likes about the greater good he thinks he and his source are doing, but the truth is, they might already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier or that of an Afghan family." Assange denies this has happened, and responded by saying, "...it’s really quite fantastic that Gates and Mullen...who have ordered assassinations every day, are trying to bring people on board to look at a speculative understanding of whether we might have blood on our hands. These two men arguably are wading in the blood from those wars."

Anonymous, the online community of hackers and activists, announced its support for Wikileaks by "declaring war" against enemies of Assange, calling on supporters to attack sites and companies that do not support WikiLeaks and to spread the leaked diplomatic cablesonline.

Dispute about status as a journalist

Assange received the 2009 Media award from Amnesty International which are intended to "recognise excellence in human rights journalism" and he has been recognized as a journalist by the Centre for investigative journalism. In December 2010 however, US State Department spokesman Philip J. Crowley objected to the description of Assange as a journalist, and also stated that the US State Department does not regard WikiLeaks as a legitimate media organization. Alex Massie wrote an article in The Spectator called "Yes, Julian Assange is a journalist", but acknowledged that "newsman" might be a better description of Assange. Assange himself points out he has been publishing factual material since age 25, and that it is not necessary to debate whether or not he is a journalist. He has stated that his role is "primarily that of a publisher and editor-in-chief who organises and directs other journalists".

Alleged sex offences

On 20 August 2010, an investigation was opened against Assange in Sweden in connection with an allegation that he had raped a woman inEnköping on the weekend of 14 August after a seminar, and two days later had sexually harassed a second woman he had been staying with in Stockholm. Shortly after the investigation opened, however, chief prosecutor Eva Finné overruled the prosecutor on call the night the report was filed, withdrawing the warrant to arrest Assange and saying "I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape." He was still being investigated for harassment, which covers reckless conduct or inappropriate physical contact. The second woman was a member of the Swedish Association of Christian Social Democrats, a Christian affiliate of the Swedish Social Democratic Party, which organized a seminar and news conference in

Sweden

for Assange. She was acting as Assange's spokeswoman and hosting him as a guest in her home during his stay in Sweden.^[110] Assange said "the charges are without basis and their issue at this moment is deeply disturbing"; his supporters say he is the victim of a character assassination and smear campaign.^[111] Assange denies any wrongdoing but admits to having had unprotected but consensual encounters with two women during a visit to Sweden in August. He was questioned by police for an hour on 31 August, and on 1 September a senior Swedish prosecutor re-opened the investigation saying new information had come in. The women's lawyer, Claes Borgström, a Swedish politician, had earlier appealed against the decision not to proceed. Assange has said that the accusation against him is a "set-up" arranged by the enemies of WikiLeaks.

In late October, Sweden denied Assange's application for a Swedish residency and work permit. Subsequently, on 4 November, Assange said that he is considering a formal request for political asylum in Switzerland as "a real possibility." He would also move the WikiLeaks servers to

Switzerland

in order to "operate in safety." However, according to the Swiss Refugee Council (Schweizerische Flüchtlingshilfe), his chances of obtaining asylum there are small. Assange would first need to claim protection from his native Australia, and then make a credible argument that Australia could not protect him. This would be extremely difficult, according to the organisation.

On 18 November, Stockholm District Court approved a request to detain Assange for questioning on suspicion of rape, sexual molestation, and unlawful coercion. Director of Public Prosecutions Marianne Ny, who had reopened the investigation in September, said she had requested the warrant because, "so far, we have not been able to meet with him to accomplish the interrogation." Assange's British legal counsel, Mark Stephens, disputed this, saying "we were willing to meet at the Swedish embassy or Scotland Yard or via video link" and that "all of these offers have been flatly refused by a prosecutor who is abusing her powers by insisting that he return to Sweden at his own expense to be subjected to another media circus that she will orchestrate." On 20 November, Sweden's National Criminal Police force issued an international arrest warrant for Assange via Interpol; an EU arrest warrant was issued through the Schengen Information System. "We made sure that all the police forces in the world would see it", a spokesman for the National Criminal Police said.

Stephens dismissed the charges, issuing a statement in which he called the allegations "false and without basis" and said "even the substance of the allegations, as revealed to the press through unauthorized disclosures do not constitute what any advanced legal system considers to be rape."

On 18 November, Assange's Swedish lawyer, Björn Hurtig, stated that the evidence against Assange was "very meager. It's not enough to get him convicted for crime."

On 24 November 2010, Assange lost an appeal against his detention, and thus remains under arrest in absentia and under an arrest warrant. The Svea Court of Appeal rejected his appeal and upheld the decision to remand him by the Stockholm district court. In late November, Assange escalated the process by appealing to the Supreme Court of Sweden, but the Court refused to hear the appeal.

Wikinews has related news:Interpol orders arrest of Wikileaks founder to face rape charges

On 30 November 2010, Interpol issued a red notice against Assange on behalf of

Sweden

for questioning on allegations of "sex crimes." Interpol's spokesman clarified, "if it wasn't for a request from

Sweden

, we would not have changed the status of his warrant." Initially the notice was marked "restricted" but made public only after Sweden said they should. British police rejected the arrest warrant. A spokeswoman for the Swedish National Police Board told the BBC that Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency had requested a new order as the original one had listed only the maximum penalty for the most serious crime alleged, rather than for all of the crimes. Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny admitted the procedural fault and immediately filed a new detention order.

Ny filed charges of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion. Assange denies the charges, which his lawyer described as stemming from a "dispute over consensual but unprotected sex", which may constitute rape under the Swedish law. The coincidence of the Interpol notice and European Arrest Warrant on Assange with the United States diplomatic cables leak was subject of commentary by the media. Stephens, said "It is highly irregular and unusual for the Swedish authorities to issue a red notice in the teeth of the undisputed fact that Mr Assange has agreed to meet voluntarily to answer the prosecutor's questions" outside of Sweden.

On 5 December 2010, Stephens told The Andrew Marr Show on the BBC, that Assange would fight attempts to take him to Sweden over the allegations due to the possibility that it could lead to the Swedish handing him over to the US, where politicians have called for him to be executed.

He was arrested by the London Metropolitan Police on 7 December by appointment, after a voluntary meeting with the police. Later that day, Assange was refused bail and held in custody on remand.

Awards

Assange was the winner of the 2009 Amnesty International Media Award (New Media), awarded for exposing extrajudicial assassinations in Kenya with the investigation The Cry of Blood – Extra Judicial Killings and Disappearances. In accepting the award, he said: "It is a reflection of the courage and strength of Kenyan civil society that this injustice was documented. Through the tremendous work of organisations such as the Oscar foundation, the KNHCR, Mars Group

Kenya

and others we had the primary support we needed to expose these murders to the world." He also won the 2008 Economist Index on Censorship Award.

Assange was awarded the 2010 Sam Adams Award by the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence. In September 2010, Assange was voted as number 23 among the "The World's 50 Most Influential Figures 2010" by the British magazine New Statesman. In their November/December issue, Utne Reader magazine named Assange as one of the "25 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World".

As of current, he is leading the poll for Time magazine's "Person of the Year, 2010".

Residency

While an Australian citizen, Assange does not plan to return to Australia because of stances that officials there have taken about his WikiLeaks activities. He has been profiled as not having a permanent address. Assange has said he is constantly on the move. He has lived for periods in Australia, Kenya and Tanzania, and began renting a house in Iceland on 30 March 2010, from which he and other activists, including Birgitta Jónsdóttir, worked on the 'Collateral Murder' video.

For much of 2010, he was visiting the United Kingdom, Iceland, Sweden and other European countries. On 4 November 2010, Assange told Swiss public television TSR that he is seriously considering seeking political asylum in neutral Switzerland and moving the operation of the WikiLeaks foundation there. According to Assange, Switzerland and Iceland are the only countries where WikiLeaks would feel safe to operate.

In late November 2010, Deputy Foreign Minister Kintto Lucas of Ecuador appeared to be offering Assange residency with "no conditions ... so he can freely present the information he possesses and all the documentation, not just over the Internet but in a variety of public forums".Lucas believed that Ecuador may benefit from initiating a dialogue with Assange. Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino stated on 30 November that the residency application would "have to be studied from the legal and diplomatic perspective". A few hours later, President Rafael Correa stated that WikiLeaks "committed an error by breaking the laws of the United States and leaking this type of information ... no official offer was [ever] made." Correa noted that Lucas was speaking "on his own behalf"; additionally, he will launch an investigation into possible ramifications Ecuador would suffer from the release of the cables.

In a hearing at the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on 7 December 2010, Assange identified a post office box as his address. When told by the judge that this information was not acceptable, Assange submitted "Parkville, Victoria, Australia" on a sheet of paper. His lack of permanent address and nomadic lifestyle were cited by the judge as factors in denying bail.

The Sunderbans are celebrated through numerous Bengali folk songs and dances, often centered around the folk heroes, gods and goddesses specific to the Sunderbans (like Bonbibi and Dakshin Rai) and to the Lower Gangetic Delta (like Manasa and Chand Sadagar). The Bengali folk epic Manasamangal mentions Netidhopani and has some passages set in the Sunderbans during the heroine Behula's quest to bring her husband Lakhindar back to life.

The area provides the setting for several novels by Emilio Salgari, (e.g. The Mystery of the Black Jungle). Padma Nadir Majhi was also made into a movie by Goutam Ghose. Sundarbaney Arjan Sardar, a novel by Shibshankar Mitra, and Padma Nadir Majhi, a novel by Manik Bandopadhyay, are based on the rigors of lives of villagers and fishermen in the Sunderbans region, and are woven into the Bengali psyche to an extent. Part of the plot of Salman Rushdie's Booker Prize winning novel, Midnight's Children is also set in the Sundarbans. Kunal Basu's short story "The Japanese Wife" and the subsequent film adaptation also take place here. Most of the plot of prize-winning anthropologist Amitav Ghosh's 2004 novel, The Hungry Tide, is set in the Sundarbans. The book mentions two accounts of the Banbibi story of "Dukhey's Redemption.

The Sunderbans has been the subject of numerous non-fiction books, including The Man-Eating Tigers of Sundarbans by Sy Montegomery for a young audience, which was shortlisted for the Dorothy Can field Fisher Children Book Award. In Up The Country, Emily Eden discusses her travels through the Sunderbans. Numerous documentary movies have been made about the Sunderbans, including the 2003 IMAX production Shining Bright about the Bengal Tiger. The acclaimed BBC TV series Ganges documents the lives of villagers, especially honey collectors, in the Sundarbans.

The Sundarbans (Bengali: সুন্দরবন, Shundorbôn) is the largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world.^[1] The name Sundarban can be literally translated as "beautiful jungle" or "beautiful forest" in the Bengali language (Sundar, "beautiful" and ban, "forest" or "jungle"). The name may have been derived from the Sundari trees that are found in Sundarbans in large numbers. Alternatively, it has been proposed that the name is a corruption of Samudraban (Bengali: সমুদ্রবন Shomudrobôn "Sea Forest") or Chandra-bandhe(name of a primitive tribe). But the generally accepted view is the one associated with Sundaritrees.^[1]

The forest lies in the vast delta on the Bay of Bengal formed by the confluence of the Ganges,Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers across southern Bangladesh and West Bengal, India.

Quotations of Rabindranath Tagore .

2010-09-24T13:39:00.001+06:00

Quotations

§ The danger inherent in all force grows stronger when it is likely to gain success, for then it becomes temptation.

§ Our fight is a spiritual fight, it is for Man.

§ I say again and again that I am a poet, that I am not a fighter by nature. I would give everything to be one with my surroundings. I love my fellow beings and I prize their love.

§ Creation is an endless activity of God's freedom; it is an end in itself.

§ Freedom is true when it is a revelation of truth.

India

has ever declared that Unity is Truth, and separateness is maya.

§ I believe in the true meeting of the East and the West.

§ It hurts me deeply when the cry of rejection rings loud against the West in my country with the clamour that the Western education can only injure us.

§ That which fails to illuminate the intellect, and only keeps it in the obsession of some delusion, is its greatest obstacle.

§ After sixty years of self-experience, I have found that out and out hypocrisy is an almost impossible achievement.

§ Our country is the land of rites and ceremonials, so that we have more faith in worshiping the feet of the priest than the Divinity whom he serves.

§ the religion of economics is where we should above all try to bring about this union of ours ... If this field ceases to be one of warfare, if there we can prove, that not competition but cooperation is the real truth, then indeed we can reclaim from the hands of the Evil One an immense territory for the reign of peace and goodwill.

§ I have no zeal for life. You know the only thing that concerns me? That I have laboured so hard to build Viswabharati, wouldn't it have no value after my exit? ... I think I have one reservation regarding death, and that is Viswabharati, nothing else.

§ It's difficult to know a person until he turns twenty-five---difficult to say what would happen to him ... but it is easy to recognise a twenty seven years old--- it can be said he's become what he's supposed to be, and from now on this is how his life would be guided, there's in left anything in his life to get astonished.

§ To enjoy something, it's essential to guard it with the fence of leisure.

§ I do not put my faith in institutions, but in individuals all over the world who think clearly, feel nobly and act rightly. They are the channels of moral truth.

A poem of Rabindranath Tagore .

ক্লান্তি আমার ক্ষমা করো,প্রভু,

পথে যদি পিছিয়ে পড়ি কভু।

এই যে হিয়া থর থর কাঁপে আজি এমনতরো,

এই বেদনা ক্ষমা করো,ক্ষমা করো প্রভু।।

এই দীনতা ক্ষমা করো,প্রভু,

পিছন-পানে তাকাই যদি কভু।

দিনের তাপে রৌদ্রজ্বালায় শুকায় মালা পূজার থালায়,

সেই ম্লানতা ক্ষমা করো, ক্ষমা করো প্রভু।।

Klanti amar khôma kôro, probhu

Pôthe jodi pichhie poŗi kobhu

Ei je hia thôro thôro kãpe aji êmontôro,

Ei bedona khôma kôro, khôma kôro probhu.

Ei dinota khôma kôro, probhu,

Pichhon-pane takai jodi kobhu.

Diner tape roudrojalae shukae mala pujar thalae,

Shei mlanota khôma kôro, khôma kôro, probhu.

Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore was born into a distinguished Bengali family in Calcutta, West Bengal on 1861. His father's name was the Maharishi Debendranath Tagore, a well known Hindu reformer and mystic and his mother was Shrimati Sharada Devi.

Tagore received his education at home.He was taught in Bengali, with English lessons in the afternoon. He read the Bengali poets since his early age and he began writing poetry himself by the age of eight.

Rabindranath Tagore did have a brief spell at St Xavier's Jesuit school, but found the conventional system of education uncongenial.

His father wanted him to become a barrister and he was sent to England for this reason.

In England, Tagore heard John Bright and W.E.Gladstone speak and was highly impressed and inspired by their "large-hearted, radical liberalism."
In 1879, he enrolled at University College, at London, but was called back by his father to return to India in 1880.

By l883 he was married. Tagore's family chose his bride, an almost illiterate girl of ten named Bhabatarini (renamed Mrinalini), whom he married with little ceremony.
They were to have four children; the eldest was born when Mrinalini was 13. However, Mrinalini died at the age of 30.

From 1890, Tagore had undertaken the management of his family estates.

His earliest poetic collections Manasi (l890), Chitra (1895) and Sonar Tari (1895) used colloquial Bengali instead of the usual archaic literary form.

In 1901 he founded the famous Shantiniketan near Calcutta. This was designed to provide a traditional ashram and Western education. He began with 5 pupils and 5 teachers (three of whom were Christian). His ideals were simplicity of living and the cultivation of beauty.

In 1912, Tagore visited Britain again and his own English translation of Gitanjali was published under Yeats' auspices. A lecture tour of Britain and the USA followed.

In 1913, he was awarded the famous Nobel Prize and used the prize money to improve his school at Shantiniketan.

Apart from his poetry, he held major exhibitions of his paintings in the West. He was also a noted composer. His works and his life influenced film director Shri Satyajit Ray, who had been one of his pupils.

Tagore was not politically motivated and tried to harmonies the views of east and west.

In August 1941, Shri Rabindranath Tagore was moved from Shantiniketan ashram to Calcutta for an operation.
In the same year i.e 1941, he passes away in the same house in which he was born in.
