Assange asylum 'may harm Ecuador'

[struggle4progress]

10. Given what we saw (say) in Honduras, or more recently in Paraguay, I think inappropriate pressure

regarding Assange is the least of Ecuador's problems

The "let's destabilize Ecuador" fanboys will, of course, seize on anything, including Assange, to run their propaganda through official circles; but they'll be running some such propaganda, regardless of Assange, because he's really completely irrelevant to them

Any cloak-and-dagger folk, who want to neutralize Assange, would probably rather take him down in Ecuador, than in Sweden or the UK, since they have lots more experience taking folk down there -- though, frankly, I think he's too high profile now and too closely watched to be regarded as a major threat by them
