I guess everyone was made aware over the news how the Bolivian president Evo Morales was forced to land in Vienna after his plane was denied access to the airspace of several countries.
I found this incident to be rather disturbing. In the past few weeks following the leaks by Snowden, european politicians throughout the continent were quick to condem the US and to demand an explaination for the actions by american security services. Yet a stupid rumor seems to have been enought to cause a diplomatic eclat which will certainly heavyly damage the releationships between European and South American countries, whilest forgetting the plege of demanding answeres from the US.
I am not a big friend of most South American leaders, nore of Snowden, nore do I approve of the actions by the NSA which were reveiled - yet the actions resulting out of the leaks by those involved are a pathetic comedic display.
