Hasta La Gadget!

Julian Assange is a man without a home. The Australian-born hacker was rejected by Sweden after applying for permanent residency last month. He’s got a few things working against him, after all. First there’s the fact that governments all over the world hate him for his hand in creating Wikileaks, a site devoted to the release of classified information.

And then there are those molestation and rape charges he was hit with in Sweden, back in August, after appearing at a seminar in Stockholm.

While plenty of countries wouldn’t touch Assange with a ten foot pole (except, perhaps, for the opportunity to prosecute him), Ecuador is ready to welcome him with open arms. The country has invited Assange to discuss documents. Its foreign ministry has also offered to reviewed a residency request “in accordance with the country’s current laws,” according to CNN.

Ecuador is apparently looking to Assange to help shed some light on the country’s troubled relationship with the United States.
