I'm sure he would go if the alternative was being kept under house arrest without charge like he has been the last two years, I never said he was going to live out the rest of his days there I'm just glad that Ecuador have stood up to Britain, Sweden and the US and granted him asylum

I meant accusations, not charges, but don't be pedantic. and he's been under house arrest for 2 years because he's been fighting extradition. If he had just gone to sweden, and he defended himself against the accusations, if he is innocent he'd be totally free right now. All of his troubles right now are because he is refusing to face the rape allegations, which to me says he's trying to hide something. If he was innocent this would all be behind him by now.

Because the decision to grant him asylum was made partly because neither the British, Swedish or American authorities have been able to guarantee that Assange wouldn't be handed over to the US after being extradited to Sweden

the british swedish and american authorities can't garuntee anyone won't be handed over to anyone, it's a case by case basis obviously. why would julian assange deserve any kind of assurances?? why do you think he deserves special treatment?? If you are accussed of a crime, you face the accusations, period. that's true for everyone, why would julian assange get some sort of immunity?

If America wanted Julian Assange we'd already have him. We got Osama bin Laden, it wouldn't be hard to get that little albino freak.

It's a mess of a situation and it's despicable that the police have gone to such lengths.

Remembering Kerry

I think,if they think about it, Ecuador may have indirectly given the UK a way out of this, now he is granted asylum there, the UK Govt should allow him to go there now.
It is then between Sweden and Ecuador after that, the UK has no arguments with either Sweden or Ecuador. When they agreed to extradite him to Sweden there was no political asylum in place, now there is, the UK would look no less foolish in allowing him to go with diplomats to Ecuador than it would by a likely very long ongoing bad publicity ridden argument as to someones human rights. All this police activity does look rather unsavoury as to one person. Actually going in and getting him would likely open up a massive wave of disasters for UK embassies all over the place in other Countries,especially where the UK is near detested anyway. Once he was away from the UK and in Ecuador the UK could then wash their hands of the whole situation after that. No Country as yet has any charges as to him, only allegations, Sweden has also refused to come and talk to him here or even via video link. There is a Nation that has stepped in and declared they have given him asylum there,namely Ecuador, I cannot see the UK Govt. coming out of this looking good in any way if it completely ignores that major development. Whether he is guilty or not of anything is clearly not for the UK to decide.I have no thoughts either way as to him but if I were the Govt, he would be off and on his way to Ecuador now and I would be telling Sweden they should have come and talked to him here when it was offered and to now take things up with Ecuador.

I don't consider him a hero but I do have respect for what Wikileaks have done and I don't think it's fair the way he's been treated

sorry, umm, what? please be more specific. The wikileaks cables didn't reveal any wrong doing by the US government. Nothing in the released documents showed America doing anything illegal at all.
That's why you cannot call him a whistle blower. Whistle blowers reveal wrong doing. Blowing the whistle on people doing something wrong, but nothing in the wikileaks revealed any wrong doing at all. so it's not whistle blowing. it's been 2 years since he released those diplomatic cables, and no one has found ANYTHING out of order, or wrong. HE released it saying it would expose America for being horrible, but it did the exact opposite, it actually proved that America is not hiding anything.

Keep up with the thread as has been said already it was a tactical move designed to try and intimidate the ecudorians into handing Assange over just hours before they announced the result of his asylum application.
You also questioned the fact that i said police had entered the building in the early hours of the morning but not crossed the threshold of the embassys offices. That is now being reported as fact by the media as a whole |

yes, i folowed the story, i was quite excited to see what amazing secrets America was hiding from the world.... and like the rest of the world, i waited, and waited, and waited, and still, nothing has been revealed that showed any wrong doing on the part of the American government.
Please prove me wrong... please show me which cable exposed some horrible action by the US.... actually you should probably tell the BBC, or the Guardian or CNN before you tell me if you do find one, cause i'm sure they'd like to know too...

You can give me a lot more? You havn't even said anything yet. Show me anything that America has done wrong, anything illegal exposed by wikileaks. there was NOTHING. show me ONE thing that came out of those cables that revealed anything illegal. You obviously don't know anything about what you are talking about. You need to get to a computer why? Cause you need to google it? So you can't think of anything? So you are OUTRAGED by the wikileaks, but you can't even remember off the top of yur head anything that was important?? LOL
