LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Spanish-language news media offered conflicting reports Wednesday over whether Ecuador had issued a document allowing National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden to travel to the South American country in order to seek asylum. Univision reported that Ecuador's consul general in London had issued a "safe pass" document to Snowden, allowing his travel to the nation, posting a copy of the document on its website. The document itself doesn't constitute a granting of asylum, the report said, but rather acts as a travel document for Snowden to go to the Ecuadorian capital of Quito. However, Spanish news agency EFE cited a senior Ecuadorian official as telling local television that no "passport or refugee document" had been issued. Earlier Wednesday, Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino had said that it would take at least two months to decide on whether to grant Snowden asylum. Also Wednesday, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. Robert Menendez warned that if Ecuador grants safe haven to Snowden, it would "severely jeopardize" the preferential trade deal the country has with the U.S., and which is due to expire soon.
