Recall the bleating from many on the left 5 or so years ago about Assange and David Hicks? "Freedom fighter", "whistleblower" - how about just plain criminals?
Looks like Ecuador is finally jack of Assange and are trying ways to get him out of their embassy, but the Brits have said he will be arrested as soon as he steps out the door.
Good! Maybe justice will be served after all.
=============================================================== UK foils Assange escape plan, insisting he must 'face justice'

Ecuador confirmed on Thursday it had granted citizenship to Assange in December, at his request.
