Whistleblower Edward Snowden might soon be living up to his frigid last name as Icelandic lawmakers have put legislation on the table that would make the NSA's most wanted man a citizen of the polar country.
Member of Iceland's parliament Ögmundur Jónasson first made the proposition this morning, the last day before the 63-member legislative body begins their summer leave.
Granting citizenship to Snowden, who admits to revealing key details of U.S. surveillance activities would circumvent the rule that he must be on Icelandic soil to apply for asylum there.

Well that is where he said he was going.
Good. I hope he is happy there. Maybe he will release Obama’s real birth certificate. :-)
His story is turning into a saga.
CW and I were talking about this.. in Austria, the ‘search’ was limited to an aisle walkthru, nothing searched. Cynwoody notes Morales’ plane left another airport 34 miles away, and Snowden would have had to be helped there to stowaway. So he could already be there.
Iceland temp is warmer than Greenland temp. Anywhere he can get away from US law will be comfy.

...Think that joke zoomed over some heads.
Reading the article indicates to me that this is a long shot. Seems to me the ruling party and the PM are cool on this idea?
;-)
this...
At this rate he will only get asylum in Antarctica
Rather clever, Snow(den) in Iceland. It was his original destination, as I recall, but every other country apparently had PR departments working overtime to spread rumors and get their name in the press...or maybe to get money from Barack, who loves to spread it around.
Iceland - the only country that stood up to the banksters.
Headline writers’ dream.
That gave me a headache.
How does he get there without a passport?
When he heard about the weekend Runtur in Reykavik...and the no booze flight to Cuba....Iceland was gonna win
Just wait until he sees the prices on everything
Exceptionally beautiful women there.
That’s been my question since his was revoked: he can only stowaway on a private plane and pop up somewhere he’s applied.
