Edward Sowden leaves Hong Kong...
HONG KONG (Reuters) - A former U.S. security contractor charged by Washington with espionage was allowed to leave Hong Kong on Sunday, his final destination not confirmed, because a U.S. request to have him arrested did not comply with the law, the Hong Kong government said.
Edward Snowden, who worked for the National Security Agency, had been hiding in Hong Kong since leaking details about U.S. surveillance activities to news media. The United States wanted him to be extradited to face trial and is likely to be furious about reports that he was travelling to Moscow on Sunday before flying on to Cuba and Venezuela. "It's a shocker," said Simon Young, a law professor with Hong Kong University. "I thought he was going to stay and fight it out. The U.S. government will be irate." A source at Russia's Aeroflot airline said Snowden would fly from Moscow to Cuba on Monday and then planned to go on to Venezuela. The South China Morning Post earlier said his final destination might be Ecuador or Iceland. Snowden leaves Hong Kong, may be heading for Venezuela *I ask "Why?". |

I thought he was granted asylum in Iceland.

Either that or Brazil where they will never get him. Family can go visit without worries etc. Probably change his name to Achfkmebad Huezjabadstan to avoid being on a terror watch list. |
Coward piece of shit. Well get him.

Some of the stuff that the contractors I work with know WAAAYYYYYY more than I do, have higher clearances than I do, and are involved in technology more advanced than what I've been read into. You WANT the smart ones to be able to do that. :yesnod: |

If people want to divulge secrets, there is a very clear route one can take (through congress). The media in China is not one of those options. But continuing to have secrets flowing out of our government makes us appear weak as a nation and needs to be dealt with quickly. |
I admire courage and might respect Mr. Snowmen if he had disclosed his concerns properly. Running and hiding is chickenshit.
Divulging national secrets to foreign entities is treason. |

Number two, do you really think that other Governments don't know what we are doing? I think the people that are shocked are the American's that feel that this is not Constitutional or right. And do you really think that Congress is capable of doing crap anymore? |
