That has caused a bunch of blow-back in NZ though. I'd say it's up in the air as to whether or not another such incident will occur.
- toyg 13y agoYes, but I don't see NZ ever abandoning their strategic intelligence alliance with US and UK (which produced, among other things, the original Echelon). Blowback all you want, Snowden would still be sent straight to Washington.
- throwawayyyyyy 13y agonew zealand gave the big F U to the USA back in the 80s when they refused the USS Buchanan nuclear powered destroyer entry to the port as it violated the nuclear-free legislation.
- pyre 13y agoHarbouring Snowden would probably create a lot more tension than just refusing a port entry to a specific boat, though I don't know the rest of the context of that incident.
