Re: Wiki Leaks Founder Julian Assange granted 'Asylum' in Ecuador
Anyway we're the ones getting screwed here.
We are obliged to abide by Sweden's extradition request by law. This isn't the Government deciding to help out the axis of Evil (i.e Sweden and America), it's the law. Sweden followed all the proper processes for making the request, we let him avail himself of the legal system here but there were no grounds for halting the request and so we had to extradite him. He runs away and hides in the Ecuadorian embassy but it's still our problem!
So now we have a minor international incident with Ecuador whilst trying to execute our legal obligation to Sweden who, some allege, are a front for the United States. This is the worst game of Piggy in the middle ever.
