The Correa government announced today that it had granted asylum to the Wikileaks founder.
This won't sit well with either the British or the US, who are keen to get some sort of revenge for the embarrassment caused by the hundreds of thousands of classified e-mails Assange released.
I don't think they need to worry. The vast majority of Brits and Americans couldn't care less what lies their governments told them years ago. They are far more interested in the current lies, and then interested only insofar as the lies make them feel good.
The people would prefer comforting lies to uncomfortable truths.
