WikiLeaks Founder Assange to Write Autobiography 
-------------------------------------------------



Wiki Leaks founder Julian Assange has announced he's reached a $1.5
million book deal to write his autobiography. Assange says he doesn't
want to write the book but has been forced to undertake it to help cover
his legal costs. Assange is currently in Britain fighting extradition to
Sweden to face questioning on allegations of sexual crimes. He also
continues to be the reported target of an ongoing Justice Department
investigation into Wiki Leaks.
