On: Ecuador grants Julian Assange asylum

[debacle]

I don't understand all of these people suggesting that once Assange is in international waters he is somehow safe.

The US will just stop the Ecuadoran vessel, board it, and take Assange. We've got historic precedent for their lack of Give a Fuck in situations of this nature.

[philwelch → debacle]

There's no evidence that the US even wants Assange.

Except of course the ongoing grand jury in Virginia.

Is there a credible report of that?
