I really wish someone would come along and go, "Aha! Assange has secretly been living in Ecuador this whole time. Fooled you, UK gov!"
But then again, I like to see government incompetence used against itself rather than against innocent people, like what happens here in the US.

Some of the shenanigans that went on with diplomatic bags shows that some countries are prepared to do this. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1132544.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1132544.stm The Soviets using one to transport a tractor shows the bags can be big enough to get a person out. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2234/is-there-such-a-thing-as-a-diplomatic-pouch http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2234/is-there-such-...

- sarciszewski 11y agoIt's like fuzzing, but with clones!
- toyg 11y agoThere is nothing to gain for Ecuador by escalating the situation. Already they spent a lot of political capital and goodwill vs US/UK by hosting Assange in the face of overwhelming hostility, cracking practical jokes at the MET would only make things worse.
