7. "Defied Assange"?

Who made Assange the boss of the Bolivian ambassador so he felt he needed to "defy"him?

That said, this is the sort of thing that could blow up regarding any International escape plan. (Argo anyone?)

Snowden, however seems to be the mature and gracious sort that would apologize rther than allowing it to cause a ruffle. However, by focusing on media-hound Assange, chances are this situation will blow up into a big manufactured grievance (where Bolivia seems to be forgetting what a favor Snowden is doing them by keeping the microscope on the government's "secret wars&quot before Snowden gets a chance to respond for himself. And this incident will become one more arrow in the quiver of US anti-Snowden media manipulation. Sigh.
