What's funny is that all of those countries are now denying that they did this to him. Do they really think they can get away with that, and it won't be proven that they did it, or that the public will even believe them?

US and its immediate allies are making their situation worse and worse for themselves.

Or, you know, maybe they actually didn't deny his flight the airspace?

This explanation borders on the ridiculous. You are claiming that the president and vice-precident of Bolivia turned their plane around of their own volition and then fabricated a search by Austrian officials in order to create an international diplomatic scandal.

I am claiming nothing of the sort, you are putting words in my mouth. I am merely suggesting that everyone is very quick to jump to conclusions when very little is factually known at this point. The guardian's liveblog is covering all of this better than I can explain here, so I'll defer to them: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jul/03/edward-snowden-a...

Well, the article has a quote from an Austrian minister that they searched the plane, not sure how that could be taken any other way.

who are they? who is he? what is it? who are they? what is it? who are they?

Apologies for all the questions, just not sure what your comment means :)

Read the article. That's what it's linked for, right up at the top of the page.

Thanks I read the article. The comment contains so many pronouns it is indecipherable.

If you're speaking English as a second language, I feel for you. Foreign languages are hard with pronouns. If you're a native English speaker, reading the article first leaves no questions as to who is who.
