Now, Julian Assange, 39, on the move for months, was arrested Tuesday in Great Britain in relation to a sex crimes investigation spearheaded by Swedish authorities.

Since this summer when his Web site WikiLeaks began releasing reams of classified U.S. intelligence, Assange has stoked the ire of top officials like Gates. Politicians and power-players the world over have called for his arrest for exposing sensitive documents. Supporters contend Assange represents free speech at its finest. They say he is a man and an organization committed to outing injustices.
Yet despite unrelenting global media attention, Assange has remained an enigmatic figure. Perhaps that’s because he learned as a child to cope with living a solitary life.
