the NY times article talks about Chavez already. here are some notes on Correa.


Según el Instituto Internacional de Estudios Estratégico (IISS), los archivos de Reyes y otras fuentes "sugieren que Correa solicitó personalmente y aceptó fondos ilegales de las FARC en su primera campaña electoral en 2006", y que "el respaldo político y financiero de la guerrilla jugaron un papel en su elección".

According to the IISS, the Reyes files and other sources "suggested that Correa personally accepted illegal funds from the FARC in his first campaign in 2006", and that "the political and financial backing played a part in Correa's election"

---------------------
Sin embargo, el IISS precisa que aunque las FARC utilizaron el territorio ecuatoriano para "exportar drogas e importar armas", nunca gozaron en Ecuador de "un respaldo estatal comparable" al que tenían en Venezuela.

Nevertheless, the IISS made clear that althgouh the FARC used Ecuadorian territory to export drugs and imports arms, they never enjoyed a comparable state backing in Ecuador as they had in Venezuela.

No doubt this would be the type of report that Correa would suppress if the referendum item regarding control of media content passes.
