Let me point out. There is at least _one_ conspiracy here.

Either some combination of the US/UK/Sweden is conspiring to bring Assange to the US. OR. Ecuador is granting Assange's asylum not because in their best judgement they believed it was warranted but for some more nefarious, maybe political, reason like spiting Sweden or the UK.

Or maybe there is no conspiracy and Ecuador is just as stupid as most HN commenters.
