    SUBJECT: AMBASSADOR RESPONDS TO CORREA'S HARSH CRITICISM OF
    CIA

    REF: QUITO 288

    Classified By: Ambassador Linda Jewell for Reasons 1.4 (b&d)

    ¶1.  (SBU) President Rafael Correa, in an April 4 television
    interview in Loja and again in his April 5 weekly radio
    address, stated that the GOE would take severe measures to
    address what he termed Ecuador's intelligence services'
    failure to provide him complete, timely and accurate
    information.  Correa claimed that Ecuador's intelligence
    services had been taken over by the "CIA," which had passed
    vital information from and about Ecuador to the Colombian
    government.  Insinuating that he could become a victim of an
    attack at any moment, the President warned in his radio
    address: "Do not believe in aerial accidents, helicopters
    falling down, or airplanes crashing.... I do not want to die
    yet.  Enough of (Ecuadorian) intelligence services that are
    financed by the Embassy of the United States....  We will end
    that and have intelligence services that belong to
    Ecuadorians and for Ecuadorians, not to serve foreign powers."

    ¶2.  (C) What apparently set Correa off was that he learned
    about military intelligence information on Ecuadorian citizen
    Franklin Aisalla's ties to the FARC from the press rather
    than from the military commanders.  Aisalla was killed
    (reftel) in the March 1 Colombian attack on a FARC camp in
    Ecuador.

    ¶3.  (S/NF) The Ambassador communicated her strong objections
    to Correa's remarks in conversations with the GOE leadership
    on April 7.  She spoke separately by phone with Correa and
    Government and Police Minister Fernando Bustamante, and in
    person with Vice Foreign Minister Jose Valencia, Defense
    Minister Wellington Sandoval, and Principal Under Secretary
    of Defense Miguel Carvajal.  The Ambassador called President
    Correa's comments unhelpful and said they needed to be toned
    down and any concerns put into proper channels.  She stressed
    that the GOE leadership knew perfectly well about the
    relationship that USG had with various GOE intelligence
    services and that it was similar to that in many countries
    worldwide.  The Ambassador emphasized that these activities
    were in no way directed against Correa or his government.
    She asked why the GOE had not spoken directly with her before
    Correa made public comments directed against us and said we
    were available to discuss any questions or concerns.

    ¶4.  (S/NF) President Correa returned the Ambassador's call
    quickly and was very cordial.  He conceded that he knew the
    USG was not acting against him but insisted that his
    intelligence services were not serving him well and would be
    investigated.  The Ambassador said we would be willing to
    provide a full briefing on our assistance to the intelligence
    services to him or any member of his staff he chose to
    delegate.  Clearly disturbed by the President's statements,
    Sandoval commented that he was not sure where the President
    received his information, but speculated that he reacted to
    news he read every morning.  Joint Command Chief of Staff
    General Fabian Varela, who participated in the meeting with
    Sandoval, made clear that the GOE would be "blind" without
    information and cooperation it received from the USG.  Even
    Defense Principal Under Secretary Carvajal, who is closely
    tied to the left, admitted that what the USG was doing was
    normal and accepted.
