What do you guys think?



http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/24/politi...html?hpt=hp_t2






  • Snowden left Hong Kong on refugee papers issued by Ecuador, WikiLeaks' founder says
  • Julian Assange accuses the U.S. of trying to violate international asylum law
  • Snowden seeks asylum in Ecuador, Iceland and other nations, WikiLeaks' lawyer says
  • The NSA leaker left Hong Kong after a U.S. extradition request

I doubt he's actually trying to get to Ecuador. I think it's a distraction. They already attempted to intercept him going to Cuba, didn't they? But he wasn't on the plane. Why on earth would they say, "Hey, America, I'm going to xxx, try to stop me!" That just doesn't make sense, unless he's some Frank Abagnale fool (Catch Me if You Can)

e.) he's going to disappear either of his owner accord or otherwise, and no one will ever know exactly what happened. Though I suspect he'll be "found" under a driveway in a Detroit suburb. Or was it under Giants Stadium? I forget which.

Wow he lived like 15 minutes from me.



They're bound to snatch him up using unorthdox methods, once he makes it to his destination. Nobody can do anything about it, just like nobody can do anything about this scandal.

I expect he will just disappear quietly also.

^He walks off into the sunset with his back to tne largest, if not the largest breaches in American history? I think not.



The only reason Manning is in the slammer is because the breach involved an important but isolated U.S. coverup (particularly the ARMY VS. AP). I'd say this one is bigger in the sense that it's worldwide and disrupts international relations forever. The heart of U.S. policy comes into question which sent a ripple effect both internally and externally.



Of course, the president's supporters will still buy into it because they'll just shrug it off with some gentle words. No mention that a week before the leaks the president asssured ONLY data was being retrieved.



Dude's in for it.

He knew he was in for it, that's why he turned ghost already. I don't put it past Russia or equador to get him on a private/charter plane that just so happens to have some diplomats on board. I guess if anybody can smuggle a man-sized cargo Russia is high on the list.



LOL if he turns up in Iran

he will arrive somewhere...think he's safe...and 2 months after people stop GAF he will "accidentally" slip in the shower and hang himself with the curtains.



if the nsa has the powernto record everything we do, then they know where he is before he does.

It occurs to me to wonder if the NSA has a copy of the stand-down orders from benghazi

Supposedly Snowden has more stuff to leak and it might show up on Wikileaks. I also read yesterday that the only reason why he took the job at the NSA was to expose the truth. So he knew right from the beginning he was gonna have to leave the country and fear for his life.



I wonder when the Hollywood movie will come out on this because this definitely has the material to be a good action flick.
