I really do hope that douchebag gets turned over to us. -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:22 1
- he won't get turned over to us. He'll get turned over to the UK. -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 20:44
I really do hope so. That would be fucking awesome! -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:20 18
- Regardless how one feels about Assange, violating international law to get him would just set a terrible precedent. -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 19:32 17
  - Like sending Predator Drones into other countries and whacking people? - Bacon Aug 15, 19:37 14
    - Like Judi Dench said, attacking an embassy is the one absolutely inviolable law of international law. -- nm - Roger More Aug 15, 19:38 1
      - this. YOu can't do that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 20:42
    - As long as your cool when the roles are reverse, have at it. - ty97 Aug 15, 19:38 11
      - Eh, Iran did it to us -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:39 10
        
        You're supposed to making your argument, not mine :) -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 19:41
        
        By the way. Don't confuse what I want to happen with what I think should happen. - Bacon Aug 15, 19:40 6
        
        The greatest tests of how strongly we believe in the rule of law is our willingness to apply the same fair rules to those we most dislike. -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 19:42 5
        
        Do you think it was right to violate Pakistan's sovereignty to kill Osama Bin Laden? -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:47 4
        
        International law isn't really about what's right and wrong - it's about what countries can do, and what they can get away with. - Roger More Aug 15, 19:55 3
        
        International Law is about who you are not what is right and wrong. If you are one of the "good countries" you can do much more. If you aren't in - Bacon Aug 15, 19:58 2
        
        No. If you are one of the powerful countries, you can do much more. -- nm - Roger More Aug 15, 20:01 1
        
        I stand corrected. Yes, replace powerful with "good" -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:02
        
        That was a fanatic regime that didn't care about what anyone else thought. Do you really want to make that comparison? -- nm - Roger More Aug 15, 19:40 1
        
        Seems legit. - Beryllium Aug 15, 19:47
  - There's no way there will be any storming of the embassy. -- nm - Roger More Aug 15, 19:35 1
    - I do agree it's a almost certainly a show of force, as is the rumor of removing embassy status. - ty97 Aug 15, 19:37
So basically sounds like the UK police are just hanging outside the Embassy awaiting the asylum ruling (due at 7am CT in the morning) -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 19:11
haha, the guy doing the ustream buzzed the Embassy's right door to try and get an interview with Assange. - ty97 Aug 15, 19:06
Fun fact news break! Ecuador's London Embassy is right behind the famous Harrod's department store. -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 19:03
*prepares for Fauklands round 2* Only this time with more allies -- nm - Argentina Aug 15, 18:51 1
- You would still get your asses kicked -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:21
Police officers have reported entered the embassy via a side door. -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 18:50 3
- The officers who enters apparently were invited in, no storming, everything peaceable. - ty97 Aug 15, 19:09 1
  - I was gonna say, they cannot storm an embassy. they MUST be invited it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 20:40
- This ustream technology is fascinating, even if it keeps hanging -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 18:51
From BBC an hour ago: Ecuador says UK issued threat to enter embassy. - ty97 Aug 15, 18:46
whoa, that won't lead to anything good. -- nm - Beaker Aug 15, 18:44 5
- Can't it be considered an act of war -- nm - the liioulu without someone else's headphones Aug 15, 18:47 4
  - Anything, can be "considered" an act of war. -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:21 3
    - Your mom is an act of war. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 20:05 2
      - So is your face -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:06 1
        
        You're damn right. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 20:08
(of course, embassies are supposed to be foreign sovereign land.) -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 18:44 1
- They are not. that's a commonly held myth that is perpetuated by Hollywood and the media. - loosilu Aug 15, 20:46
Someone is ustreaming from there -- (link) - ty97 Aug 15, 18:43
