A Department of Justice spokesman insisted US officials had fulfilled all the requirements of Washington´s extradition treaty with the autonomous Chinese region and were "disappointed" by the decision to let him go. Mr Snowden, a 30-year-old former intelligence contractor, is wanted by the United States on espionage charges, after he quit his job with the National Security Agency and fled to Hong Kong with a cache of secret documents. On Sunday, Mr Snowden left Hong Kong and fled for Moscow, despite Washington having requested his arrest and extradition. Hong Kong officials said the documentation supporting the extradition

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I, for one, am loving it at this point.
I’m guessing they were disappointed when we tossed them to the wolves.
Why would any country want to help Hussein do anything? Well, I guess the Muslim countries would help him.
I’m sure Hong Kong’s leaders are trembling with fear over having disappointed our Dear Leader.
Dear Leader has done everything he can to cut America down to size. Now, we are disappointed? We’re lucky China hasn’t called in our mortgage.
This Snowden guy sure is turning a lot of GOP into Obama Supporters. Heck, its not only the Feds spying on us that Snowden has revealed...he also has revealed who all the closet Obama Supporters are
Communist China knows the US has it butt so deep in Free Trade with Communist China....they know the US and Obama will do nothing to retalliate.
Kinda funny the biggest whiners of Snowden being a “spy, traitor” are the same ones who have no problem Free Trading with the enemy who won’t turn over Snowden
Elect an amateur and the whole world knows and acts accordingly.
The American people can blame the Zer0 Syndicate for the turn of events that has compromised our national security. If Zer0 had not shown such total ambivalence to our Constitutional rights, no one would have risen up and blown the whistle. It is like basketball. If you are double dribbling and body slamming the other team, the whistle will be blown and there will be consequences. In this case, the consequences will be suffered by the American people.
It's unbelievable, this is exactly what obama wants, hell he won't even speak about it.
The destruction of The United states of America was always obama's goal.
The enemy is within, we are at war and the current president of The United States of America, is on the wrong side.
Pretty sad when the Hong Kong puppets of the Chi Coms teach Obama about the “rule of law”.
The rinos won’t tell obame to kiss their ass, but the rest of the world will..
Arrest him?! Heck no, they want to become good buddies with him and get as much info as possible about how the NSA spies on them. I bet the number of countries reaching out and willing to grant him asylum right now is ridiculous. The American people have been betrayed by 0 over and over and we have to just sit back and take it. 0 cant stand that he got “betrayed” by Snowden who was trying to let the public know how indepth U.S. citizens are being spied on or how hes been blackmailing everyone to get them to bow to his will to force them to do the insane things that we see going on in this administration every day. Now we know.
Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the First Opium War (1839–42). Originally confined to Hong Kong Island, the colony's boundaries were extended in stages to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and then the New Territories in 1898. It was occupied by Japan during the Pacific War, after which the British resumed control until 1997, when China resumed sovereignty.[13][14] The region espoused minimum government intervention under the ethos of positive non-interventionism during the colonial era.[15] The time period greatly influenced the current culture of Hong Kong, often described as "East meets West",[16] and the educational system, which used to loosely follow the system in England[17] until reforms implemented in 2009.[18]
