Remember that when Turkey lays claim to the Tomb of it's ruler in Syria...;}
Second, the verbiage.
An ambassador is a hostage.
All the above tries to clarify w/o mentioning the word.
The Ecuadorians have hostages as well. Plus a lot more oil.
AND the backing of South AMerica which has no Lost Love for former Empires that did nothing to help liberate former Colonies just like Ecuador.

I do not believe it is a question of whether they are capable of doing it, but the repercussions that would follow diplomatically for all embassies, not just those of the UK. States that support such a UK action could risk the rest of the world determining that they had waived the sanctity of their own embassies.
It could create quite an international diplomatic mess.
The UK wants to turn back the clock to Drake, the First QE, and the Magna Carta?
Go right ahead with that Pandora's Box.
And for what?
That's what alot of Brit 'Subjects' are asking right now about alot of USSA cowtowing....;}

Imperial Affront: Ecuador Will Face US Wrath for Asylum Decision Chris Floyd
August 16, 2012
[UPDATED BELOW]
It is apparent that the nation of Ecuador will now be in the frame for what American foreign policy elites like to call, in their dainty and delicate language, "the path of action." Ecuador granted political asylum to Julian Assange on Thursday for one reason only: the very real possibility that he would be "rendered" to the United States for condign punishment, including the possibility of execution.
The Ecuadorian minister estimated the production potential of the oil fields to be auctioned off in that round at 35,000 barrels per day. He said exploration studies to be carried out after the auction would likely cause reserves in that region - currently estimated at 100 million barrels - to rise to between 800 million and 1.5 billion barrels.
Under that scenario, production in that zone could amount to between 400,000 bpd and 500,000 bpd, Pastor said. A conduit extending approximately 100 kilometers (62 miles) will be built to link the fields in Ecuador's southern Amazon region to the North Peruvian Pipeline, which runs to the Bayovar port in northern Peru. Pastor estimated the cost of the conduit at $300 million.
The North Peruvian Pipeline currently transports between 200,000-250,000 barrels of crude per day, roughly half its maximum capacity. Most of Ecuador's oil comes from the northern part of its Amazon region, where 500,000 bpd are extracted and transported via the SOTE and OCP pipelines. Oil is Ecuador's main export product and also a key source of government revenue.
