The whistleblower who leaked details of top-secret US surveillance programmes has disappeared from sight in Hong Kong - with Russia saying it would consider granting him asylum.
Edward Snowden, 29, left his hotel on Monday, ahead of a probable attempt by the US government to have him returned to face charges.
Mr Snowden, who was a contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA), had admitted giving details of the monitoring of phone calls and internet data, from companies such as Google and Facebook, to The Guardian and Washington Post.
He checked out of Hong Kong's Mira Hotel, where he was last confirmed to be, hours after going public in a video released on Sunday by The Guardian.
His whereabouts are not known but he is believed to still be in the Chinese territory.

We quit sending things by mail and started sending everything via some method on the internet. Guess the next step is to deliver everything in person.
They want to be able to withdraw right from your account.
Remember...they have access to all seniors on SS and disability folks....
They want access to bank accounts for EVERYONE.
They'll have to mine for non interest bearing accounts which aren't reported on your Income Tax.
No, it's not, but:
Breaking: NSA Eavesdropped on People Whom They Had Personal Grudges
Officials: NSA mistakenly intercepted emails, phone calls of innocent Americans
To think they weren't listening in on phone calls without a valid court order is gullibility on a dangerous level.
On foot ~ your GPS system is tracking you as we speak.
Ballerina dancer? How very Russian of her! We need to find out if her background in Laurel, Maryland is legit!
I read this earlier in the day. Even if they don’t record WHAT you say, they’re able to implicate you by WHOM you call.

Enjoy!
I am in total agreement with you, Jeff.
Has anyone thought that Snowden
may be CIA payback to BO
Hmmm, if I’m Snowden the choice is ‘he disappears’ or ‘he is disappeared.’
I’d pick the former rather than wait around for the latter.
Who cares at this point?
Isn’t it amazing how all the other scandals, which were occupying the news, have suddenly been suppressed by this one Lone Wolf?
LOL
Hes an invention and a shiny object.
Kind of a sleight of hand...
People! People! Look over there!
No way this guy exists.
Not even qualified for Top Secret.
The clue is his bio.
No high school, college. That right there doesnt even get your resume on anyones desk.
Hes a distraction.
He’s a stock photo for “Wired Magazine” or a “Picture Frame” you buy at Macy’s.
Wag the fake story.
Far to early to draw that conclusion.
Let’s see his high school yearbook and then decide....
I hope that he has a very good hiding place.
Anecdotal evidence absent names, dates, places.....
Snowden said in the interview that he did not vote for Obama.
That would be funny if not true. Was traveling on the Beltway last week and there was a notice that we needed to look for yet another lost senior citizen.
My grandson who was with me commented that I really need to get a new car with a GPS and a black box - current car is 9 years old - and a new cell phone - current one is 11 years old. Asked him why and he said “So we can find you if you get lost”.
That’s what my cellphone is for ~ buy a $100 ticket at Walmart for 1 year and all is well. The other family members have the big dogs that traverse the world ~ if they need me to come find them they call. Beats the heck out of paying retail, or even Obamaphone rates.
He is dead
Hoping he is heading for the Russian border and asylum.
I saw an article yesterday where some moron representative (yeah, that's redundant) was attempting to compare the NSA tracking every cellphone call to a phone book. Of course that idiotic comparison doesn't take into account that a phone book doesn't tell you who knows who, when they speak, for how long, and from where. Perhaps if the NSA had asked for a list of their customers, that would be similar, but traffic analysis is NOT simlpy a list of people's names.
You folks who keep trying to downplay this, either don't have any idea of how much information you can get from this kind of traffic analysis, or think we don't know. Your line isn't selling here.
