I have been to many Latin American countries, speak fluent Spanish, been to Cuba many times, have met a lot of Latin American Left leaders in Central America, Cuba and in the USA.
Here's my problem with Evo and Evogate. For the first time I'm seeing the Left in Latin America and Europe use the tools of disinformation to get their way. I have never seen such a bogus amount of spin and false statements and reporting on an event. If not cleared up it will leave damaging impressions that are not necessary.
Usually the left has had to keep it's nose clean with stories with a right wing that lied as a matter of course with the help of the media.
Now I guess it's the left's turn to be opportunistic and we have the Guardian and unethical Twitterers leading the way.
Fair's fair in historical terms it's hard to get back at the USA, but it's disappointing.
