The set-back cited in the article is that WE are upset that THEY didn't arrest him.

We could clear away that bad thing unilaterally by not being upset.

Perhaps it should be, "US opts to use Snowden flight to set back..."

Or perhaps, "Snowden flight reveals that our prior diplomacy wasn't as effective as we thought"

"President Barack Obama found that his personal efforts to shore up relations with the leaders of China and Russia failed to pay off..."
