They should do exactly as they have done. Interpol alert, extradition proceedings, etc. Assange will remain on the run, or in this case imprisoned at the Ecuadorian embassy until he is arrested and extradited. Regardless of whether or not some people on CF are feeling particularly patient, he is entitled to a defense.

How many people have I called a rapist?
How many character assassinations have I partaken in?
Exactly. I'm discussing the Assange case at arms length but I am taking care to give the accused the benefit of the doubt until such times as we hear his testimony. You might not like him, but technically he is still innocent.
