2010-12-30 Julian Assange named The Nation's Person of the Year, CNN's Most Intriguing

Julian Assange is The Nation readers' Person of the Year and CNN's Most Intriguing Person of 2010.

The Nation: The response was strong and, interestingly, WilkiLeaks founder Assange was also our clear-cut winner because, as Lorna Singh pointed out, "we need to see how we were lied to," and, as Mike Pribula wrote, "he has reminded us about the importance of integrity in diplomacy and democratic ideals in our republic."
