Something irresistible happened.
The plane of Bolivian President Evo Morales was refused overflight in the European Union.
Now stuck in Austria, we are looking on to a spectacle of amazing proportions.
Just days ago, the French complained about being spied on by the U.S., then everybody refused asylum for Mr. Snowden, and now the President of Bolivia is grounded in Austria.
Richard Nixon does not look too bad any more.
There were, to be sure, legitimate reasons to put Mr. Snowden on trial, but the longer the story unfolds, things can be seen in a different light.
When the New York Times has reason to call for a criminal investigation of the NSA, when Mr. Binney, who was vilified, is now confirmed, something is very wrong.
Let's rehabilitate Tricky Dick, then.
This post was brought to you by someone one praised by a branch of a U.S. government for "exceptionally meritorious services."
Happy and above all safe 4th of July.
