Another put-down for Hillary, this time from Ecuador's Correa

[rabs]

Correa has instructed his foreign minister to compile a report of human rights violations in the United States. :rofl:

This is in response to the report issued by Hil's State Department this week in which alleged violations were listed in a slew of countries, except the United States, of course.

The U.S. report nitpicked on rights in Ecuador, accusing police of "excessive" actions, saying jails were in a "precarious" state, of government "confrontation" with opposition private media and "discrimination" against women, Indians and blacks.

In his regular Saturday speech to the nation, Correa said, "Okay, I am going to do a report (about) how in the United States human rights are not respected. There, torture has been legalized. Or have they forgotten that? There are five Cuban prisoners without the right to receive their families." (The Cuban Five)

"I am going to ask our foreign minister (Ricardo Patiño) to compile a report about human rights in the United States."

Correa said if the "U.S. press published a tenth part of the distortions that are published here, there would be tremendous lawsuits where millions of dollars would have to be paid."
