Who is Julian Assange?

Julian Assange was born July 3, 1971 in Townsville, Australia, but travelled around the world with his mother.  She would often homeschool Julian, but he also reportedly attended 37 different schools.  Today, Assange may be best known as the founder of WikiLeaks, which is a website based on confidential government information that is spread throughout an international scale based on a server from Sweden.  WikiLeaks officially started in 2007, and ranged from information regarding anything from a U.S. military manual to emails from the Vice-Presidential candidate at the time, Sarah Palin.  In 2010, Assange was also hit with rape charges from two alleged victims and he remains on conditional bail. 

I'd definitely like to ask Julian Assange this question:
Are you happy with the decisions you have made in the past, and why or why not?

All of my sources, including Time, Biography.com, the Washington Timesmsnbc and CNN, can be considered reliable sources because they are respectable names in the news industry and each give their own perspectives of the WikiLeaks founder.  CNN had a video linked with their story, which can also be credible as a source.  All five sources have the authors included as well, which helps to validate the information .
