I was answering to the discussion that they would try to assassinate Assange. As I said discreditation is a much better option in such a public case, and the argument could be made that they are trying to do just that (discredit Assange).
"sex crime allegations"
Sweden and UK spending $Ms on "he said/she(of the CIA)said". There's a lot more to this that just "she said" sex crimes.

oh, absolutely, though it's far from clear Assange being discredited or killed would have any effect whatsoever on wikileaks.
i dont see what he does is any different to what a reporter does, the only problem is freedom of information access whether its appropiate to be printed, then again govt control media and media moguls only print what they want you to read only, which is base on their political views....if it aint, then its not worth printing for the public...
I think it would. Human nature. The discreditation I mean not the killing.
Julian Assange can be arrested in embassy, UK warns Ecuador
Ahead of decision on WikiLeaks founder's asylum claim, Quito accuses Britain of threat to trample international law
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...rc=al_nationalEcuador says it is granting political asylum to WiliLeaks founder Julian Assange two months after he took refuge in its London embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden to face questioning for alleged sexual misconduct.
Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino says Ecuador found that Assange faces a real threat of political persecution including the threat of extradition to the United States, where Patino said the Australian would not get a fair trial and could face the death penalty.
Cameron has threatened to Ayotollah-Khomeini the Ecuador embassy and kidnap Assange.
That doesn't sound very intelligent to me...
why hasnt he tried iran or china?
the problem isnt the rape charges, its the deportation to america against his will for other charges the american govt want to charge him with....
if his site is still leaking information, then why arent they gong after the ppl thats leaking the , assange is nothing more then a clown for a storefront
he can't get out of the embassy, the UK will arrest him, send him to Sweden on bull sex charges. He was entrapped by CIA s. Looks like the CIA has won. I wonder if CIA is paying UK and Sweden to cover their expenses?
entrapment when he was a nobody, seems like fabricated out of nowhere to be honest
I'm not exactly sure why Ecuador is risking this much Assange,what do they have to gain from this...get their country talked about on the national stage for once. And I agree that the rape charges which may of happened are just a front for his deportation to US and eventually Guantanamo.
I'm sure the UK will respect Ecuador's sovereignty and the rule of law.
I wonder what Ecuador will do when he starts leaking their secrets?
As long as Ecuador isn't lying to their people, they should have nothing to hide, right?![]()
http://www.economist.com/blogs/ameri...6d37c30b6f1709But Ecuador will not want to host Mr Assange in its London embassy forever, says Michel Levi, professor of international relations at the Andina Simón Bolívar University in Quito. "I think he will end up in Sweden, with special conditions granted for his eventual trial," he says. On Sunday Mr Assange was due to make a statement from the embassy, in which sources close to him suggest that he may offer to cooperate with Sweden if guarantees are given that he would not face extradition to a third country.
the rape charges against him doesnt even make sense when they have samples from a condom without any of his DNA...fkn fail....yet they blame it on him, if u look at all rape cases...who uses a connie?
This has nothing to do with the rape charges. It's all about his compromising national secrets.
no, it's all about anybody being crushed by the govt, and complicit other govts, that doesn't allow anybody to question its power, expose its nasty secrets.
btw, please list the national SECURITY secrets exposed, as verified by MIC.
Assange is not an American citizen and did nothing on the US soil, so how does USA have jurisdiction? He wasn't sworn to secrecy, didn't remove the info from US computers.
btw, I suppose Bradley is mentally ill, maybe destroyed, after years of torturing isolation.
Secrets are a necessary evil like it or not. I'd say he's lucky he doesn't have a US assassin after him.
yep, any crime, like murder, is not a crime for governments, but not for individuals. eg, Petraeus murdering "bad guys" 1000s of miles from USA, anywhere on the planet.
