Ecuador has said Britain threatened to send police into the embassy

3. It's strange. In the embassy of Ecuador, Assange is silenced pretty much.

He probably won't be sleeping with any women. In fact, thanks to the news stories questioning his conduct with women, he may never sleep with any woman ever again. (My guess. What woman would want to be the next number on his sexual balance sheet.)

I really don't understand the fanatical zeal about getting Assange.

My best guess is that he embarrassed the US diplomatic corps and our government.

Are they going to say that the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi is proof that Assange's revelations hurt people? Is that the next game? If so, the loss of an ambassador's life is not worth it. If not, there were far more reasons for Al Qaeda to attack in Benghazi than Assange's leaks. Stevens was reportedly essential in toppling Ghadafi and fighting Al Qaeda in Libya. Assange's leak brought that fact to the attention of ignorant Americans but would not have alerted the people on the ground in Libya who are so closely involved in the intrigue and revolution there.

So, I just do not understand why the excessive zeal about Assange. He has been pretty much silenced as far as I can tell. You'd think that "they" would want to keep him silenced and miserable in the embassy of Ecuador if they dislike him so much.

This story does not make sense. I don't think we know the whole story.
