Ecuador invites UK Assange talks on condition they agree not to enter embassy

08/22/12: Al Jazeera reports Ecuador’s president has invited the UK to talks over the fate of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on the condition that Britain guarantee it will not enter the diplomatic mission in London where the hacker has sought shelter.  Assange, who is wanted by Sweden for questioning over sexual-assault accusations, jumped bail and fled to the Ecuadorian embassy nine weeks ago.  “Despite that rude, impertinent and unacceptable remark, we’re still open to dialogue,” President Rafael Correa said on Tuesday, referring to a statement issued by British Foreign Secretary William Hague last week.  Assange made an appearance on a balcony of the embassy, in London’s Knightsbridge District, on Tuesday and called on the US to end its alleged “witch-hunt” against him.
