South American nations furious over diversion of Bolivian president's plane - live | World news | guardian.co.uk
The Spanish government has not just annoyed Morales and Bolivia with their refusal to allow his plane through its airspace. Austrian foreign minister Michael Spindelegger is also annoyed. He reportedly said: We don´t understand, why Spain is acting like that. He also maintained that Austrian officials had been on the plane and Snowden was not there. Journalists at the airport had earlier suggested that Austrian authorities could not conclusively attest to Snowden not being on board as the jet's crew were saying no-one had been allowed on to the plane.

But cleared or not, this is scandalous and not way to treat the President of a souverain country.
There are really no words for this.
There's one word for it. And we already know what it is.
Padilla and Manning aren't enough, so Snowden must be taken down. I think they're ensuring that he'll not have a decent night's rest for the remainder of his life. Seal Team Six on standby. keep to the Fen Causeway
