I can't ue that link, but this may be the same article:
BBC

So far, this is at the alleged stage. The article states:
"We have already let the United States know that this is an issue that appears to be seriously at fault, and we will be making a formal protest if it appears that that is what has happened," she said.
...
"There's embarrassment about the fact Britain might have been used as a staging post and annoyance at the fact procedures don't appear to have been followed.


For all we know this may just be someone who knows the history of this particular airport stirring up the public against the US or even agaisnt specific local parties that they want to oust in next years elections.
Prestwick - which lies 30 miles south of Glasgow - had supplied logistical aid for military flights since WWII in "moving troops and cargo", an airport spokesperson said.
"That support involves allowing crew to rest, refuelling aircraft and providing food and water.
"The airport is obliged to allow aircraft from any CAA-registered country to land here."


Until we get a formal complaint from the Brits, I'm not paying attention to this article.
