Julian Assange Granted Asylum By Ecuador
WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange was granted political asylum by Ecuador on Thursday, setting up a standoff with the British government, which has vowed to block his exit from the country. The announcement was made by the Ecuadorian foreign minister, Ricardo Patiño. He said that Ecuador was granting Assange political asylum because it believed he was being persecuted for his actions as the head of WikiLeaks.

I was open minded about Wikileaks until I saw their "Collateral Murder" propaganda piece.
Being familiar with the shapes of various weapons, I could clearly see the "unarmed group" holding AT LEAST one AK-47 and one RPG-7, while at the same time, the deceptive, lying Wikileaks overlays proclaimed they had no weapons.
Clever use of overlays, editing and emotive preparation of the viewer, diverts attention from the obvious and pushes a deceitful narrative which has no basis i More..

@rozza2012
Analysis of events proved that the van had been seen earlier in the day, dropping off insurgents at various points. What kind of "daddy" brings his children to a war zone, moreover, a war zone where he's acting as a combatant? Also how was the apache crew supposed to know that the van contained children? It was being used in a military capacity, to evacuate enemy combatants.
It's pretty obvious that the driver was using the children as human shield/camouflage to legiti More..

@passive_observer "Analysis" would that by chance have been done by the US military who originally claimed all dead were 'anti-Iraqi forces' & 'insurgents'. Daddy didn't bring his children to a war zone a war zone was brought to their home by the US war machine. The children cannot be seen, they were not shields or camo, they were just innocent victims. 'Libtard' as in liberty, down with that, because the alternative is this,

It's been an interesting life Julian and a short one. Sweden, UK, USA will be looking for you for many years.
Any goose who thinks this is about sexual assault is a long way wrong. Assange, when captured will be going to ONE place and that is a USA jail for a long time.

He's too much of an attention whore for me to trust him.
Who knows why Ecuador cares obviously it's not because they believe in governments being transparent with information.
