Ecuador offers a home for founder of WikiLeaks

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) - If WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange needs a home, Ecuador's deputy foreign minister says this Andean nation is happy to provide one.

The 39-year-old Australian, who has incensed and embarrassed Washington with the release by his online whistle-blowing organization of hundreds of sensitive diplomatic cables, had sought residency and a work permit in Sweden.

But after the release by WikiLeaks beginning in late July of thousands of sensitive documents from the Iraq and Afghan wars, a Swedish court ordered him detained for questioning on sexual assault allegations—claims Assange denies and calls part of a smear campaign.

===============================================================

Ecuador is a very poor and corrupt nation where police do little. Also, South America was where many Nazis, Communists, and Muslims end up. Argentina helped Nazis flee to Argentina/South America because of Juan and Evita Peron.

He can run but hiding in Ecuador after open invite like that would be like walking into Osamas front door and hand out drawings of Mohammed.
