WikiLeaks has sparked outrage by suggesting the Libyan embassy was attacked because the US gave tacit approval to British threats to storm the Ecuadorian embassy and remove Julian Assange.

WikiLeaks has sparked outrage after suggesting the Libyan embassy was attacked because the US had backed Britain's threat to storm the Ecuadorian embassy in London and remove Julian Assange.

The website issued a tweet suggesting that America had given 'tacit approval' to the threats from the Foreign Office.

At the time the FCO was warned that if they removed Assange it would jeopordise its own diplomatic rights in other countries.

1. Making that connection is quite a stretch.

Embassies were attacked well before Wikileaks was even
a glimmer of an idea.

2. Let me be the first to say...

Wikileaks has jumped the shark on this one.

3. so, how many people will turn their back on what happened with embassy to embrace yet another con

from this man and the org.

we pretty much are united against romney and behavior with the embassy and the story as a whole.

now that assange steps into it, how many fingers will shift direction and point to us, because assange says it is so.

4. Yeah, that's a real stretch. n/t

Hey Assange, it isn't all about you.

7. Apparently Romney isn't the only one who had a "Romney moment" yesterday. n/t

8. I'm mostly sympathetic with Assange's situation; refuse to pile on

. . . but I just despise this.

9. Wikileaks thinks everything is about Wikileaks.

It's part of the culture there. That attitude may well have come from Julian Assange, who seems often to have the same opinion of himself.

Wikileaks and the Ecuadorian Embassy situation had zip-all to do with the attacks in Libya, Egypt, and now Yemen. Zip.

10. Exactly...

Wikileaks and the Ecuadorian Embassy situation had zip-all to do with the attacks in Libya, Egypt, and now Yemen. Zip.

Well said.
