The West actually believes a Wall Street hacker would be on the same plane as a sovereign nation's President?
The President's security alone would dictate otherwise. Snowden is nobody compared to President Morales safety and security. Evidently, this speaks more to the real security issues the USA continues to have. It would seem Bolivia appreciates the importance of the security and safety of their President.
This occurred with no real intelligence. None. A television appearance to a populous audience is not intelligence. There were no validating facts to even attempt this foolishness.
This level of idiocy is more reflective of the Bush grandstanding presidency rather than Obama. Is there no dignity within the USA government anymore? Anything goes, huh? Stop planes with sovereign leaders and even search them for wayward employees of Wall Street. Well, isn't this something.
When is Congress going to actually hold hearings regarding Carlyle and their subsidiaries? The Congress might even want to have some FACTS from their intelligence agencies before they start the questioning rather than waving their financial portfolios as they did iPhones at the Apple executives.
I apologize to President Morales of Bolivia. Evidently, the USA has a chronic struggle separating issues of sovereign business from that of Wall Street ineptness. Mr. Snowden was not qualified for the position he held. He might have been excellent at punching the keyboard to find his way into secure websites elsewhere, but he hardly had the correct focus to trust. The job, once begun, scared the living daylights out of the guy.
Currently in the USA Wall Street Executives have more rights than the citizens do and this is a reflection. In the USA money can buy this sort of flamboyant global chase to distract from the real problem and the real culprits. It doesn't matter the differences that exist between Bolivia and the USA, kidnapping a President and hijacking his plane for an illegal search based in complete populism is simply "W"rong.
This was not only humiliating it assailed the sovereign security of Bolivia. This is muscle flexing imagined out of fabricated ideas and not the truth. In all honesty this is more a humiliation of the USA and it's current political state than that of Bolivia.

A senior Bolivian diplomat (click here) said the Austrians had acted at the bidding of the United States, which has been trying to get its hands on Snowden since he revealed details of its secret surveillance programs last month.
"We're talking about the president on an official trip after an official summit being kidnapped," Bolivia's ambassador to the United Nations, Sacha Llorenti Soliz, told reporters in Geneva.
The Bolivian plane, which was taking Morales home from an energy conference in Moscow, was stranded at Vienna airport for several hours after Portugal and France refused to allow it to fly through their airspace.
The search found that Snowden was not onboard and the plane eventually left Vienna about noon on Wednesday....
