HONG KONG The Hong Kong government announced on Sunday afternoon that it had allowed the departure from its territory of Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who has acknowledged disclosing classified documents about United States government surveillance of Internet and telephone communications around the world. snip
The Aeroflot agent said that Mr. Snowden is traveling with one other person, with the surname Harrison, but the agent declined to release the other travelers first name, saying that she did not have the authorization to do so. The closest adviser to Julian Assange, who orchestrated the release of the Wikileaks diplomatic cables three years ago, is named Sarah Harrison, prompting speculation that she was the Harrison on the flight with Mr. Snowden.

He did us all a great service at huge personal cost
Who is this Harrison on the flight with Snowden? They are speculating in the article.
Maybe a Harrison J. Bounel reference?
I see this as more of a “Thanks for tossing us to the wolves” from Hong Kong.
Another article said possibly a Sarah Harrison - with wikileaks.
I just think it is strange that out of all of the names he could be traveling with, it would be Harrison??
Jason Bourne want-a-be...
God speed, Ed Snowden.
Here is another. She is identified as "assistant to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange".
Huh? Harrison is the name of the person traveling with him.
I just did cockpit view...he’s sitting on the captain’s lap flying the plane while sipping a gin and tonic...@ 2600 ft AGL...@ almost 200 knts....pretty daring...
Wikileaks have just confirmed on the radio,BBC, it was them that arranged the flight.
” The Hong Kong government said on Sunday, in its first detailed statement about Mr. Snowden, that the United States had made a legal request for the issue of a provisional warrant of arrest against Mr. Snowden, but that the Hong Kong government had concluded that the request did not fully comply with the legal requirements under Hong Kong law.”
And the Administration screws up again.......LOL
The plane is landing now.
Landed @ 0905 hrs EST...
Yes, God Speed, Edward, let’s exposé our successes against Russia and Cuba.
