errors in the past, especially when they use pool reports such as this one. Or when the articles come from their biased, Right Wing columnists. The AP is notorious for biased interpretations of anything that comes from Latin America and the ME.
This article is a perfect example and it fooled you and MADem, well he apparently reaad it, not sure if you did or not, as intended. You should first read stuff before you cheer for it, then when it comes from sources such as this one did, you should watch for stuff like this:
"I regret saying] this, but I want to say that some European countries should free themselves from North American imperialism," he said.
See how they inserted the word [saying]? Lol! I have to give them credit, the old AP, they know how to cover themselves when the deliberately misinterpret something.
As I said, my sources were correct despite MADem's claims to the contrary. And they have both been verified by even later reports today. And even more countries are now offering asylum since the Latin American Leaders' Alliance met to discuss the incredible insult to one of their members. Latin American leaders are not known for backing down especially to Global Corporate Powers who have no power over them anymore.
