Bolivian president's plane redirected due to fear Snowden was aboard
A jet carrying Bolivian President Evo Morales was diverted after leaving Moscow on Tuesday when France and Portugal abruptly revoked permission for the president's plane to travel through the nations' airspace due to rumors that NSA leaker Edward Snowden was on board the plane.
One theory is that the USA pressured France and Portugal. Certainly possible.
Another theory is that France and Portugal did it voluntarily to get on the good side of the USA.
Yet another theory is that France and Portugal did it voluntarily to make the USA look bad, the big bully after one young man. It makes Obama in particular as an individual look bad since just a fewdays ago the USA wouldn't do any "wheelin' and dealin' '" on Snowden, whatever he meant. But whatever he did mean, the USA has (?) been pressuring ancient US allies which is part of "wheelin' and dealin' '" in any negotiation.
I certainly don't know; I do walkable urbanism, not a John LeCarre plot-within-a-plot.
