What exactly does anyone think would happen if a foreign nation insisted Air Force One be searched?
And on the subject of extradition:
In October 2003, the intensely pro-US president of Bolivia, Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, sent his security forces to suppress growing popular protests against the government's energy and globalization policies. Using high-powered rifles and machine guns, his military forces killed 67 men, women and children, and injured 400 more, almost all of whom were poor and from the nation's indigenous Aymara communities. Dozens of protesters had been killed by government forces in the prior months when troops were sent to suppress them.
The view that Sánchez de Lozada must be extradited from the US to stand trial is a political consensus in Bolivia, shared by the government and the main opposition party alike. But on Friday night, the Bolivian government revealed that it had just been notified by the Obama administration that the US government has refused Bolivia's extradition request:

You know when that happened? Here's the date the article was printed.

So, it's okay for a government to slaughter citizens but not okay for a someone to reveal secrets that a government want to keep hidden from it's citizens in a democracy? And the Obama administration refused extradition LAST FALL.
Talk about raging hypocrisy.
