"The forcing down of Bolivian President Evo Morales's plane –
denied airspace by France, Spain and Portugal, followed by his 14-hour

"fugitive" Edward Snowden – was an act of air piracy and state terrorism. It was
a metaphor for the gangsterism that now rules the world and the cowardice and
hypocrisy of bystanders who dare not speak its name."
