Quito, Jul 18 (Prensa Latina) Ecuador is facing a new slanderous campaign from Colombia aimed at linking President Rafael Correa with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

Ecuadoran Security Minister Miguel Carvajal called déjà vu a video showing an alleged FARC leader who claims he had given money to Correa following the March 1, 2008 Colombia military raid against a FARC guerrilla camp within Ecuadoran borders.

They are not only trying to link our government to the FARC but to smear our anti-drug and anti-paramilitary policies, Carvajal stated.

The Ecuadoran cabinet official warned that the video broadcasts coincide with an arrest warrant an Ecuadoran judge issued against Colombian former minister Juan Manuel Santos for his direct involvement in the attack against the FARC camp at the border with Ecuador.

He added that he is not surprised by the coincidence of the broadcasts with the closing of the US air base in Manta, Ecuador.

1. We're not surprised, either, especially since that little smelly Uribe invaded Ecuador last year. nt
