He had been returning from a summit in Russia during which he had suggested he would be willing to consider a request from Snowden for asylum and COCHABAMBA, Bolivia South Americas leftist leaders rallied to support Bolivian President Evo Morales after his plane was rerouted amid suspicions that NSA leaker Edward Snowden was on board and they demanded an apology from France, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
