[release]QUITO - Ecuador on Monday offered Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder who has enraged Washington by releasing masses of classified U.S. documents, residency with no questions asked.
"We are ready to give him residence in Ecuador, with no problems and no conditions," Deputy Foreign Minister Kintto Lucas told the Internet site Ecuadorinmediato.
"We are going to invite him to come to Ecuador so he can freely present the information he possesses and all the documentation, not just over the Internet but in a variety of public forums," he said.
An international arrest warrant was issued in mid-November against Assange, a 39-year-old Australian, on suspicion of rape and sexual molestation of two women in Sweden.
The United States, for its part, has a criminal investigation under way into the release of some 250,000 diplomatic cables, the most recent of three huge document dumps by the self-styled whistle-blower website.
The White House branded those who released the documents "criminals, first and foremost," but so far U.S. authorities have publicly filed no charges against Assange.
The documents, obtained by WikiLeaks and made available to news organizations in the United States, Britain, France and Germany, have shone a bright light on the behind-the-scenes conduct U.S. diplomacy.
Ecuador's leftist government is one of several in the region that have often been at odds with Washington.
Lucas said even though Ecuador's policy was not to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries, it was "concerned" by the information in the cables because it involved other countries "in particular Latin America."

Next USA war front, Ecuador.
He should do it so he can get away from everyone wanting him
That's sweet of Ecuador.
¡Muchas Gracias, Señor Ecuador! You're doing the world a great service by letting Assange stay with you.
Personally can't shake the feeling that it's a trap, but to be fair for Ecuador, I do not have any knowledge of the current political situation there.
And I'm quite paranoid.
I don't trust kindness either.
Haha, it's funny how they think he'll be safe in Ecuador.
But then we'll know where he is!.
Of course! No nation is more solid and impenetrable than Ecuador!
In other news, the army of Madagascar has offered to defend Assange from any possible attacks from Russia or China.
then we blew Ecuador off the map

make up your mind
noap
Sounds really fishy.
If I were Assange, I'd just stay away from the american continent for a while :v:... but I'd sure appreciate his support
It's really simple guys, Ecuador is leftist just as Venezuela, but if Venezuela offered Assage recidency then the US would act immediately so Ecuador did it instead. These two countries hate the US so you figure it out. Also there is a cable of how the US was involved during the coup in Honduras.
It's a trap
This is really odd... I mean I applaud them for supporting Assange, but out of the blue like this? It seems somewhat like a trap.

Might be, but not likely.
