WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, is surrounded by members of the media as he arrives in Britain's Royal Courts of Justice for his extradition appeal in central London, Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Assange is fighting extradition to Sweden on the grounds that the allegations of sexual misconduct laid against him there don't amount to a crime. Assange's repeated disclosures of classified U.S. documents have infuriated the Pentagon and energized critics of American foreign policy, but allegations that the 40-year-old Australian molested two women during a trip to Scandinavia last year have tarnished his reputation and cast a shadow over his future.
