WikiLeaks is back with the Global Intelligence Files
http://wikileaks.org/the-gifiles.html
Most are e-mails and documents of security firm Stratfor (probably the hacked ones by Anonymous at the end of last year). Interesting read this press release. It didn't seem to have been picked up by major news sites yet, unfortunately.Kazoo -

It's a bit of busy at the embassy of Ecuador
Ecuador has granted Julian Assange's request for political asylum. In a high-octane speech in Quito, the country's foreign minister said the South American nation believed the Wikileaks-founder's fears of persecution were legitimate.
What happens next, however, is very unclear. Before the announcement in Quito, Britain had said the granting of asylum would make no difference to its position: it still considers itself obliged to arrest Assange and extradite him to face questioning in Sweden. It has said it will not grant him safe passage to Ecuador.
The diplomatic row between Britain and Ecuador is growing more heated by the hour. Ecuador today accused the UK of making an "open threat" and pursuing a campaign of intimidation against its embassy in London. The FCO has responded by insisting on its right, should matters reach such a point, to enter the embassy. If it were to do that, it would need to give seven days' notice.
Why doesn't he go just to Sweden?
Surely, if the US wanted to get him then the UK, with good ties to the US, would have been extradited him already? I can't imagine Sweden doing that? Or am I wr0ng?Kazoo
