The US is acting more and more like the school yard bully. Keeps picking on the kids that won't fight back. The US needs to be put in it's place.

Funny, I was thinking of the ugly fat bully on the schoolyard myself before

But it hasn't changed. Maybe you were just not up to speed with what happened ?

Actually the Spanish Ambassador showed up with 2 other personnel and demanded to inspect the plane.
Morales denied them.

European states were told Snowden was on Morales plane, says Spain | World news | guardian.co.uk
Morales has said that while the plane was parked in Vienna, the Spanish ambassador to Austria arrived with two embassy personnel and they asked to search the plane. He said he denied them permission.

Post of the Day.

If the illegals can do it for 20+ years and survive so can Snowden.

Given the colonial history, it was really stupid for Spaniards to want to enter Morales' plane.

Maybe Biden promised them some Fed $$$$ to ease their economic pains ?
Money talks remember.

Take a realistic example. France. If the French have to inspect the AF1 in line with international laws, it will happen. Any violence against France would make Nato implode (which like many Europeans I think would be excellent, by the way), which the US can't afford.
I'm waiting for a realistic example.

So what does that mean? Was the plane searched or not and by who?

WTH is the amassador showing up for that? Just seems really strange paranoid or not.

If you like admiring fantasy fiction. The capture rate is as high as 48% and you better bet they check papers and if you're a gringo dressed as a Muslim woman you got some splainin to do.

And there are obstacles to getting to the boarder of course.

I doubt most people would even recognize him if he was standing right next to you.
