11. I don't see where it is proven that Ambassador Eacho said Snowden was on board

If you google there is no news source other than Die Presse claiming this.

It sounds like a miscommunication. Eacho was in charge of notifying EU countries about Snowden and getting them the note about extradiction - the US asking European countries to extradite Snowden based on mutual treaties.

My speculation is that this was a communication problem between Eacho and the Spaniard. Even if Eacho threw out a comment like: "Snowden may even be on board" that is not the same claim, it's an opinion.

Until some other news source or press conference reveals more that's all there is for now.

Happy to read further sources on this but die presse and this comunique aren't solid. Die presse is a local religious newspaper according to a DUer here who knows it.
