Julian Assange will be granted asylum, says official

threatening to storm the embassy
A side point but nobody has "threatened to storm the embassy". The UK government did raise a law which could (maybe) effectively remove the status of the embassy but there has been nothing about "storming" the building. If the building wasn't an embassy, the police could just walk in and arrest him.

Question: Do you think it strange that the UK government would even consider suspending sovereignty for a embassy over sexual assault charges?

Did you know that Assange has been flagged red by the CIA, while Gaddafi while still alive never got past orange?
 
He gave a great speech a couple days ago. Its about time we stand up for freedom, democracy, and transparency. All fundamental to a correctly function democracy.

Maybe he can pass that on to Ecuador once he gets there. apparently freedom of the press is unknown there. Sorry to burst another one of your Far Left bubbles.

what is with your guys and your admiration for anti-american regimes, regardless of how despotic they are towards their own people? and what's with the deification of an australian rapist, who's anti-american rantings are apparently the only criteria needed for hero status?

And you know this how? Or is this another one of the Far Left anti-american urban myths you guys are so fond of?

Yes, but 'storming the embassy' is the kind of crap that gets those far left juices flowing. These are the same folks who, had they been around, would have cheered the seizing of the U.S. embassy in Teheran and the kidnapping of over a hundred american citizens. It's just how they roll.
 
I would say he is getting special treatment now. They are paying 500K USD pounds per week for security and is threatening to storm the embassy and destroy their relationship with Latin America for a guy that used no condom during sex.

You have no knowledge of exactly what he did in Sweden but you choose to believe him because he's virulently anti-american. Par for the course.

My apologies, not the CIA, but Interpol.

Interpol has issued a so-called "red notice" for his arrest on behalf of Swedish authorities for questioning in "connection with a number of sexual offenses" – Qaddafi, accused of war crimes, earned only an "orange notice" – and the U.S. government has branded him a "high-tech terrorist,"

Do you understand what this is about?

Read the rolling stones article I linked in the other post, and understand how the Obama administration is trying to redefine what espionage is, and deliver a KO to freedom of press in this country!

Yes, though less so as a last resort to resolve what has turned in to a major legal, political and practical deadlock. I honestly don't think they've seriously considered taking it that far - the communication seemed like more of an attempt to force the Ecuadorians hand at a time they appeared to be stalling rather than a serious threat. I'm not convinced it was as successful as it could have been though.

On what scale? And how is that relevant to false accusations that the UK government threatened to storm an embassy?

Uhhh exactly where did i say Ecuador has free press?

what is with your guys and your admiration for anti-american regimes,
Anti american?
How is this anti american?

regardless of how despotic they are towards their own people?
So the US actually cares how the gov treats people? Tell that to the Egyptians, tell that to the Saudis, tell that to the Kuwaitis, tell that to enter x tyranical regime we support

and what's with the deification of an australian rapist, who's anti-american rantings are apparently the only criteria needed for hero status?

Jesus christ... :lamo

One where red is the worst possible flag.

Its relevance lies in the idea that many want to pretend this witch hunt doesn't revolve around the US's attempt to redefine espionage as soliciting information from a source for a journalist.

Its relevance lies in discrediting the idea that this somehow has to do with a sexual assault case, and not delivering a KO blow to freedom of press in the US!

I really have no opinion about that minor rape case. If he did something wrong, then he should be punished, but he should be punished in Sweden.

I just don't want him to get sent to the US to be imprisoned for life for revelaing US dirty laundry.
