The Age has reported that the leaked emails from Stratfor, known as the Global Intelligence Files, reveal that secret charges have indeed been drawn up by the U.S. Government against Julian Assange.

The left is a broad church. Excuse me if I make a few generalisations here.

The left is represented by the right of the Labor Party at its furthest right, although there are some unions that would argue they represent left values who are to the right of even the right of the Labor Party. let's accept that the Labor Right is about as right as we want the left to be.
