Maybe in the past but Correa has worked hard to tackle corruption and has succeeded in improving Ecuador's economy and bringing down poverty and unemployment, I am not aware of any human rights abuses committed under his government. People misrepresent his policy on the media as some sort of crackdown on free speech ignoring that the press have a huge amount of financial power and is dominated by private monopolies opposed to Correa's reforms and they abuse their power. I watched his interview with Assange on his RT show a few weeks ago and it's actually quite interesting

This was always gonna be a lose lose situation for Correa (the US are their biggest trading partner after all) but he's handled this mess as best as he could and I'm glad he made the decision he did

Julian Assange's lawyer is due to make a statement within the next 30 mins and then Julian is expected to come out onto the balcony and make a short statement at around 2pm.
http://reuters.livestation.com/demo

This comes after Ecudor called for a vote of the organization of central america members on whether a meeting should be held to discuss the Assange case the votes were 25-3 for a meeting the only countries to vote against were the USA,Canada and trinidad.

lol at everyone waiting for Julian to pop his head out. It feels like Groundhog Day, everyone waiting for that little rodent to pop out.

[billy123]

Some of the idle chat being captured on the reuters stream is hilarious as the different news channels set up their equipment all bitching about each other and getting stressed about their setup.

Interesting stuff on the reuters stream about the endless history of whistleblowers being charged with other unrelated crimes and marked for extradition.
Once again the mainstream arent showing it live.
If anyone was daft enough to trust and just watch the 2 mins broadcast live on the mainstream they would think that was all there was and most of it was in spanish.

Julian begins his speach by thanking those that were present and bore witness to the police forcing entry to the embassy building by forcing open a fire exit and entering parts of the building in such a threatening manner.

Bradley Manning joined the military and volunteered to undergo those conditions. He knew exactly the consequences of his actions. Frankly Bradley Manning should have been put in military prison the minnute he punched a female officer. Bradley Manning is man that beats women. He knew exactly what he was getting into when he joined, and CHOOSE to betray not only his brothers/sisters in arms, but his country.

PLease don't compare Julian Assange to Bradley Manning. Julian Assange is just an annoying little attention ***** that may or may not have lied about using a condom. Bradley Manning is a cowardly little traitor that hits women.

[arista]

Why should America give a flying crap what that idiot has to say? Do you care what every internet troll has to say? i don't. Assange is just a glorified internet TROLL.

The fact that he's employed by RUSSIA TODAY should tell you everything you need to know. Have you ever been to the RUssia Today website??

IF you wanna talk about propaganda, that's a good place to start.

omg, other nations will hate America??? what ever will we dooo???

LOL

are you joking? the only reason America has survived so long is because we don't give **** what other countries think of us. Look at other countries, why would we want to be like them or care what they think? we are the most successful country in the history of the world, obviously we are doing just FINE on our own!! lol

America listening to what other countries think would be like Christina Aguilera taking weight loss advice from Vanessa Feltz.
