Official UN panel findings on embassy-squatter released. Assange: I'm 'vindicated'

Re: @AC Won't make a bit of difference.

Of course, the plane could go to the Australia via the US - and the him - the shear embarrassment of being ignored - or perhaps if asked a "spokesman" could basically say "Who - .... oh so what"

Assange granted asylum by Ecuador after US refused to rule out charges

Re: Way out

Thought the olympic air prohibitation zone over London is still active - so the helicopter might not get a flight path - and illegal entry might be a bit of a risk (seem to recall a helicopter is likely to be met with a military helicopter and snipers

Re: Independently of the merits of the case...

Well, it's forced the ecudorians to commit to a course of activity and as they now can't throw him out without loss of face, they are responsible to feed/water him for the forseeable future.

A Google search shows htere is an extradition treaty between ecudor and USA - so might not be totally safe even if when attention is directed elsewhere (such as the para-olympics) he manages to somehow "escape" from the UK, I've seen news items suggesting there are negotiations with the EU on trade treaties - being in dispute might influence this. Likewise there are supposed to be negotiations on favoured nation status between ecudor and USA due Jan 2013 - this might be a good reason for them to fail, or prhaps provide a sacrifice? assuming the US are really intersted in hiom in the first place

Likewise if nothing is done and he has got to ecudor then he is in an intersting prision as he can;t risk taking any transport that might end up in the USA - or perhaps there might be an unfortunate incident with a robbery going wrong ?
