Michael Moore Injects Himself Into the WikiLeaks Debate
Michael Moore went on Keith Olbermann’s show last night to explain why he put up $20,000 in bail money for WikiLeak’s Julian Assange–who’s currently in custody in London on sexual assault allegations. Moore dismissed the allegations against Assange, noting “there are no charges, they only want to talk to him.”
