US intelligence fugitive Edward Snowden has arrived at a Moscow airport from Hong Kong, but it is thought he will fly on to another country.
The US intelligence fugitive Edward Snowden has arrived in Moscow on a flight from Hong Kong.
But he is only thought to be in transit before leaving for Venezuela or Ecuador, via Cuba.Last edited by Colonâ„¢; June 23, 2013, 12:11.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.

If he ends up in US hands he's almost certainly facing spending the next 30 years in federal prison. He's fleeing to countries that won't extradite him, and yes that means countries that don't like the US that much. What exactly has this guy done wrong that makes him a 'self-righteous turd'?

The guy did commit a crime you know. It's just not in his place to judge whether documents can be declassified. Even if he doesn't deserve punishment for revealing the existence of PRISM and the like, he can in all be fairness be punished for revealing spy operations overseas.
Besides, the guy claimed he fled to HK because of its strong record in free speech (what that has got to do with anything beats me, but anyhow) and this is what HRW has to say about Ecuador:
"President Rafael Correa has undercut freedom of the press in Ecuador by subjecting journalists and media figures to public denunciation and retaliatory litigation. Judicial independence continues to suffer due to transitional mechanisms for judicial reform that have given the government and its supporters in Congress a powerful say in appointing and dismissing judges."
Real consistent that. He claims he's defending liberty, but he's not going to achieve that by giving moral points to countries that undercut civil rights far more than the US.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.

Snowden went public because he felt he had to, and now has to deal with the consequences of spending the rest of his life running in fear from the worlds superpower. He doesn't exactly have a lot of options unless he wants to stare at a cell wall forever, and we're supposed to think badly of him because his destination might not be the best country on the planet?

Now we know that the US is conducting vast surveillance operations without the slightest care about the privacy and rights of the vast majority of people who don't live in America, and not much more care about American citizens either. Yet we're supposed to just smile and trust Uncle Sam to have our best interests at heart?
