Reply #11: It's very interesting. I watched the clip at that link. [View All]

The anchor lady talked to three reporters and he was the second one in Ecuador and the only Ecuadorian. She asked all three if Correa had any evidence connecting Gutierrez to the coup and they all said no. The clip posted at the bbc site ended before that part of their conversation.

Now, that's a perfectly reasonable question but the way it was asked pulled for a negative answer. And she definitely said Correa was "pinning" this on Gutierrez as if Correa was just making things up for no reason.

The reports I've read that originate here or there all tend to minimize -- or seem to, so far. Maybe that's just because they were first reports? They say Correa was pelted with water by police but not that his gas mask was nearly torn off several times or that he was nearly beaned on the head by a canister or that his car has marks from at least four shots.
