Julian Assange can remain in Ecuador's embassy 'for however long it takes'

16. You're ignoring the history of both UK and Sweden as enablers of

state crimes by the US. If you need a reminder for either, the Iraq War and Rendition, respectively. The intelligence services and foreign ministries of all three countries do not easily forget and forgive those who strip off the veneer of secrecy and diplomacy.

Thanks to Wikileaks, there are a lot of embarrassed diplomatic cover types who have said one thing to their opposite numbers but reported the complete opposite in their cables back to Washington. These aren't even the highly-classified CIA cables.

You almost can't blame them for anything other than being so awkward and heavy-handed in how they've dealt with this breach. That assumes, of course, that this isn't just a very elaborate sheep-dipping of Julian Assange and the materials that have been handed to him.
