1. "Die Presse" is neither a "local" nor a "religious" newspaper. It is the leading supraregional quality newspaper in Austria and has a liberal bent (liberal in the traditional sense, it is neither "leftist" nor "neo-liberal&quot .

2. Die Presse reported

"It (the plane) landed about 11 pm. Shortly thereafter, the Foreign Ministry in Vienna received an urgent call. At the other end of the line: US Ambassador William Eacho. "Die Presse" learned that he claimed with great certainty that Edward Snowden was onboard, ... Eacho also made reference to a diplomatic note by the US requesting Snowden's extradition."

(Sie landete gegen 23 Uhr. Kurz danach ging im Wiener Außenamt ein dringlicher Anruf ein. Am anderen Ende der Leitung: US-Botschafter William Eacho. Wie "Die Presse" erfuhr, behauptete er mit großer Bestimmtheit, dass Edward Snowden an Bord sei, der von den USA gesuchte Aufdecker jüngster Abhörskandale. Eacho habe auf eine diplomatische Note verwiesen, in der die USA die Auslieferung Snowdens verlangten.)

The ambassador's call was confirmed by Austria's news agency Austria Presse Agentur (APA):

"The ministry confirmed on request by APA that Eacho had called, but that no pressure had been applied."

(Im Außenamt wurde am Mittwochabend auf Anfrage der APA bestätigt, dass es einen Anruf Eachos gegeben habe. Druck sei aber dabei keiner ausgeübt worden.)

which was reported in several other Austrian newspapers, such as:

http://wirtschaftsblatt.at/home/nachrichten/international/1425921/Evo-Morales-in-Wien-ein-Eklat-der-Superklasse


First, this is not about a "Spaniard". Spain and Austria are different countries. It is about Ambassador Eacho's call to the Foreign Ministry of Austria.

Second, this is hardly "miscommunication". Why does Eacho call the Foreign Ministry at such a late hour? Shortly after Morales, by strange coincident, just happens to land at the airport nearby?

Even if he "only" called to notify the Foreign Minister about the extradition request and didn't say anything else, contrary to what "Die Presse"'s sources say, the implication is obvious.
