 Today, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange walked out of a courtroom in the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands a free man. That was after striking a deal to plead guilty to a single charge of publishing U.S. military secrets. Assange's supporters clearly ecstatic there. Outside the courthouse, his attorney, Barry Pollack, said his client never should have been charged under the Espionage Act in the first place.
