European hypocrisy

What blatant hypocrisy is displayed by European countries in relation to Edward Snowdon.

To satisfy public outrage at the US attack against their citizens’ right of privacy, European politicians assert publicly it could hinder trade relations with the US.

However, in private they are still the lapdogs of US imperial power displayed by their refusal to allow Bolivian President Evo Morales’ plane the use of airspace on suspicion that the plane carried Snowdon.

Goodness only knows what would have happened if Snowdon was actually on board.
