Madga, you're probably correct that they can't appoint Assange as a diplomat there, as he has to be approved by the British, but there is nothing to stop them from appointing him [if only temporarily] the Ecuadorian ambassador or other diplomat to someplace else and sending him there, even in Quito etc. There should be work-arounds - IF the UK will play by the rules. Big IF! I'm a bit surprised there is not a greater 'shouting' of the UKs threat to invade the Embassy - as it would affect ALL nations negatively. Sweden could end this whole thing...simply send people to interview Assange in the Embassy, then withdraw the transfer request. Shame on Sweden for playing this game for the US. Same for the UK, but that was totally expected.
