Ecuador v. Chevron

So far I know next to nothing about the current lawsuit between Ecuador and Chevron-Texaco. Can anybody give me some solid background on it?

This is a lengthy and complex case dating back to the early 1990s. It has been written about extensively, with varying degrees of accuracy (and inaccuracy). While it would be difficult to summarize the entire case it here, I would be happy to answer any specific questions you might have about it. I also can send you news articles that will shed light on the issue, though I'm not sure how to get them to you as they are lengthy and blog comment space is necessarily short.
