#1 The WikiLeaks editor is living in virtual isolation within London’s Ecuadorian embassy after authorities at the State Office scrambled his internet connection.

Took long enough, but the Ecuadorians finally figured out that Ben Franklin was right about fish and guests. I would also not be surprised if Other Countries besides the UK and Spain were quietly letting them know that things have changed a little, and maybe it wouldn't be a good idea for Assange to be allowed to do whatever he wants.

#2 Hell, people (subjects) in the UK don't have freedom of speech guaranteed so why would some "guest" in a foreign embassy have it?

#3 Well, if he is somehow allowed to depart the embassy, let's not let him settle in Salisbury.

#5 I always thought Assange is a good guy, but - if the unpleasant Chomsky supports him...

#6 Guess this proves it!
Noam Chomsky and Pamela Anderson, intellectual equivalent aging media whores.

#7 IMO, Assange is more nihilist than anarchist. Just because he is speaking Truth To Power!™ doesn't make him any less destructive.
