Apparently learning nothing from Colombia entering Ecuador’s territory to go after the FARC, or maybe taking a page from that incident and the diplomatic crisis it sparked, there are allegations that the U.S. violated Venezuela’s airspace. US officials admitted a naval plane on a counter-narcotics mission had “navigational problems” that led it to briefly enter Venezuelan airspace.
[Venezuelan Defense Minister] Mr Rangel told a news conference that the US aircraft “practically flew over” La Orchila – where Venezuela has a military base and President Hugo Chavez has a residence – and another island before turning back.
“This is just the latest step in a series of provocations,” he said.

So what do you all think? Was this an “accident” or something more sinister?

The plane was a U.S. Navy plane. You’ll remember that about a month ago the U.S. Navy reestablished an fleet in the Caribbean.
