Ecuador Pokes The US Govt In The Eye Over Snowden

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Gotta love the little guy standing up to the big bully…

Ecuador said on Thursday it was waiving preferential rights under a U.S. trade agreement to demonstrate its principled approach to the asylum request of former American spy agency contractor Edward Snowden.

“Ecuador gives up, unilaterally and irrevocably, the said customs benefits,” said another official, Fernando Alvarado.

“What’s more, Ecuador offers the United States economic aid of $23 million annually, similar to what we received with the trade benefits, with the intention of providing education about human rights,” Alvarado added.

“Ecuador does not accept pressure or threats from anyone, nor does it trade with principles or submit them to mercantile interests, however important those may be.

The Ecuadorian govt goes on to say that Snowden has to be physically in Equador to receive asylum, but I like they way they are standing up to the bully….the US govt..which does not represent the will of the US citizens anymore..
