Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who has been seeking political asylum in Ecuador, has hired a legal advisor best known for ordering the arrest of the former Chilean military leader Augusto Pinochet in 1998. Ecuador's foreign minister Ricardo Patino confirmed Assange's hire of Spanish jurist Baltasar Garz n, a human rights investigator, on Tuesday.

Julian Assange s investors are in the process of purchasing a boat to move WikiLeaks servers offshore in an attempt to evade prosecution from U.S. law enforcement, FoxNews.com has learned. Multiple sources within the hacker community with knowledge of day-to-day WikiLeaks activities say Assange s financial backers have been working behind the scenes on the logistics of moving the servers to international waters
