A build up of plain clothes ear-piece wearing operatives around the Ecuador embassy in London in the last two days has been sighted by Julian Assange's lawyers. There are normally 2-4 plainclothes British operatives present. The reason for the increase is not publicly known.

Wouldn't that scrape your knuckles? Assange under arrest for prosecution? What a fun time that would be, all around.
