		<description><![CDATA[The OAS at times has been a useful forum for discussing and resolving conflicts related to Ecuador, a country that just played host to visiting Iranian President Ahmadinejad. As of now, Ecuador’s government has voiced increasingly rambunctious criticism of the OAS due to its inadequacy in the arbitration during the Honduran coup. Regarding the OAS and Washington’s stand on it as seen from Quito, Ecuador’s president Correa is pursuing a double-edged agenda: an ideological and an electoral one. It is within this context that his recent meeting with the visiting Iranian leader should be comprehended. Executive Summary A number of Latin American leaders, such as the president of Ecuador, have developed the habit of turning their backs as far and as quickly as possible from the Organization of American States (OAS), considered by them, fairly or not, as a leading extension of U.S. dominance. One of the latest instances of this criticism is growing against the otherwise highly regarded Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which is directly linked to the OAS, even though its work differs substantially from the at times politicized and ineffective OAS. Spurred by its distrust regarding the OAS, Ecuador is now energetically searching for a new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whatever your politics, it is not easy to get at the truth about Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, a man whose supporters and detractors often appeared to have taken up their positions long ago and clung to them rigidly, new data be damned. His recent landslide re-election victory is a case in point. There was no denying that Ortega had a strong lead, consistently polling over 10 percent (sometimes a lot more) above the nearest challenger in the months leading up to the ballot. However, a range of onlookers from the U.S. government to Transparency International, as well as the Organization of American States, have pointed to some degree of irregularity in the electoral process. As Ortega defenders rightly point out, the U.S. is hardly an impartial observer when it comes to Ortega. Washington has expended a lot of energy over the years on anti-Ortega skullduggery, funding the murderous Contra forces against his Sandinista rebels, imposing economic sanctions when he first came to power in the 1980s, and now, in a new century, declaring long before the elections took place that they would most likely be illegitimate. Parallel charges have been leveled against many critics of the election. Fundación Grupo Cívico [...]]]></description>
