Guardian.co.uk - Julian Assange asylum: Ecuador is right to stand up to the US

Julian Asange has been granted asylum by the Ecuadoran govt. This move is intended to avoid his

from where he would most likely be turned over to the U.S. to be tried for treason. The Swedish gov't has been offered the opportunity to question Asange about alleged sexual crimes in the Ecuadoran Embassy - they have refused. It would seem as if both Britain & Sweden are acting as agents of the U.S. in this case
