UK 'threatens' to raid Ecuador embassy over Assange

148. Its done all the time.

Mexico routinely requires the US to waive the possibility of the death penalty before extraditing criminals to the US. And countries around the world give asylum tl wanted criminals, ex-dictators, and the like.
I have no idea if Assange is guilty of the allegations/charges or not. But its quite odd that UK is making such a brouhaha over him, to the point of violating treaties, invading foreign embassies, risking diplomatic relations, and outraging the world over this. It certainly makes me think its not at all about an alleged sex crime, its about something much bigger, which then calls into question the validity of the sex crime charges.
Quite obviously, the US is worried about what other documents Wikileaks has in their possession. That they are pulling strings from behind the curtains indicates they aren't going to follow laws, but are going to whisk him off to a secret site for some "enhanced interrogation". Assange has every reason to be worried, and Ecuador is well within their rights to demand the law be followed before extraditing him.
