Ecuador and Sweden have struck an agreement on how the two nations will co-operate on criminal matters that will likely advance the investigation into sexual assault charges levelled against Wikileaker-in-chief Julian Assange.
Ecuador's Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Movilidad Humana revealed the agreement last week. The Ministerio's statement on the agreement says, after a pass through an online translat-o-tron, that "The agreement in question is undoubtedly an instrument that strengthens bilateral relations and facilitate, for example, compliance with judicial proceedings, as the interrogation of Mr. Assange asylum in the Embassy of Ecuador in London."
Is the agreement good news, or bad, for Assange?

Yeah, except that Assange is only that important to the US and the rest of the world (besides Sweden) in his own head. The rest couldn't give two fucks about him.

The average citizens, perhaps, who have other things on their mind day-to-day. But, the UK felt obligated to spend £12.6m to try to catch him before pulling the plug on the stakeout. Contrast that with, the local cops spent maybe $100 trying to figure out who broke into my friend's car in my front driveway. This suggests he is, in fact, a person of significant impact one way or another.
