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.

5. I actually enjoyed some of the released diplomatic messages
Chavez is crazy, I would have said idiot actually. and the assessment of other Arab leaders of Iran.

I hope info on Colombia and Venezuela is released. Not that those persons who provided the info shouldn't be subject to prosecution if they did something illegal.
