Evo Morales : No Regrets

This past Wednesday, Earth Day, I was supposed to attend a forum with the President of Bolivia, Evo Morales. He ended up not showing up, according to the advice of his doctors, we were told.

Earlier in the day however, President Morales was well enough to speak to CNN en Español to tell them that he had zero regrets about expelling a U.S. Ambassador last year.

I don't regret having expelled the ambassador, Mr. Goldberg," Morales said in an exclusive interview Wednesday with CNN en Español. "And now, with the events we are seeing and we are finding, it is confirmed that he was conspiring against the government, conspiring against the national territory. He is an expert in dividing countries, with external groups and in Bolivia."

Morales also expelled a lower-level U.S. diplomat last month, accusing him of contacting opposition groups.
