regarding <u+201c> notable & quotable: blame ecuador <u+201d> (oct. 19): an oct. 16 new york sun editorial, <u+201c>wikileaks in proportion,<u+201d> proposed tongue-in-cheek that the obama administration attack ecuador in a <u+201c>proportional<u+201d> response to russian hacking and release of emails that are embarrassing to democrats. left-wing activists and academics in the u.s. who previously raved about julian assange speaking truth to power lost enthusiasm for transparency when he revealed the truth of the democratic party<u+2019>s and mrs. clinton <u+2019>s deceptions and abuses of power. ecuador<u+2019>s president rafael correa has a strong preference for hillary clinton. is that because she would be best for american interests or best for ecuador<u+2019>s? mr. correa is an ideological soul mate of mr. obama and mrs. clinton<u+2014>a democrat-socialist bringing social justice, state control of the economy and zealous defense of the environment to ecuador. under his economic stewardship, ecuador now barely ranks above venezuela and cuba on global measures of economic freedom. mr. correa wants a kindred spirit in the white house, as does every other leftist leader hoping for a suitable substitute for president obama. ted morrison spartanburg, s.c.
