5. What is the irony?

Aug 2012

Correa has been fighting - succesfully - through legal means against local equivalents of FOX and Rupert Murdoch and Rush Limbaugh. And pardoned them, because the fight is not about personal vendetta, but stripping away their some of their power to lie and deceit the public.

That's a good fight. Correa and the oil industry has been also fighting against the rural indigenous population of Ecuador. That is a bad fight.

US gives asylum to this guy, numerous Latin American former heads of states wanted for corruption and murder and other countries, US gives asylum to Cuban terrorist on CIA payroll who murdered 100 people. What else is new?
