MOSCOW, June 26 (RIA Novosti) - The whistleblowing organization WikiLeaks said on its Twitter feed on Wednesday that former CIA employee Edward Snowden, wanted by the United States for leaking state secrets, may be permanently stuck in Russia.
Cancelling Snowden's passport and bullying intermediary countries may keep Snowden permanently in Russia, WikiLeaks said on its Twitter feed, but did not specify the names of intermediary countries.
The United States has issued a warrant for Snowdens arrest on charges of leaking details of a US surveillance program and cancelled his US passport, which Washington says should prevent him from traveling internationally.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Snowden, whose whereabouts had been the subject of international speculation for the past two days, was in the transit area of a Moscow airport.

who here thinks obama and the democrats (and the RINOS too) really really want Snowden to go on trial in the US testifying about the infiltration and cooptation of America's government and businesses into a massive domestic operation of spying, data collection and data base accumulation?
even poor deluded Maxine Waters “knew” something was up when she said obama had accumulated and built an unprecedented database on everyone. BTW, she said this in context to being asked about obamas plans to leave office in 2016, alluding to the concept that he may not go?
Since the Snowden story broke the only leaks of damaging national security intelligence I have heard in the press, is obama’s own people and some of our dumber congress people and spineless coopted military leaders, speaking publicly about that which we should never know, the specific al Qaeda operations that were stopped by NSA
the obama people leaked these operations in their own self interest to try to justify to and mollify the American people about why their government is spying on them in a huge coordinated way
As read it, if “the enemy” is changing his communications now it is because of the obama leaks, not Snowden
Here’s something to think about as well. Barry officially declared that Snowden is charged with treason. If he didn’t get Holder to file these charges and Snowden started leaking more info. Democrats could have argued don’t believe the hype, Snowden’s a flunkie, bozo and paranoid. Nothing he says is true. But with these treason charges Democrats can’t make that argument. If they say the leaks are untrue than it would make the treason charges null and void. Pretty soon, Barry will be regreetting his decsion to listen to the advice of his South Carolina butt buddy, Linda Graham.
“so what law school did he graduate from? “
That’s just it, nobody knows for sure.
“Assange talked like Ecuador was a done deal for Snowy. And abra-cadabra, now it’s not”
I think it is. The problem is that there are no direct flights between Moscow and Ecuador. That flight to Havana was not an option because it went into US airspace and could have been forced to land.

Well Said!
I remember the old days, when pilots fled the atheistic socialist USSR to find freedom of conscience in the USA. Today, the opposite is often happening. Something I never thought Id see

Amen. Obama should be the one on the run. He and his band of bunglers have close to destroyed this country. When a russian general predicted that the US would would fall apart, and be split into a number of pieces, I initially laughed. Now not so much.
To: MS from the OC
The Obie administration dragged its feet on charging, pulling the passport, putting him on a global watch list, providing extradition paperwork and putting pressure on nations. And we are to believe this administration wants him captured?
Looks more like the administration is scared of what he may have and are just going through the motions of looking engaged.

"Let's look at the strong societies. The Russians. Goddamn, they root 'em out. They don't let 'em around at all. I don't know what they do with them. Look at this country. You think the Russians allow dope? Homosexuality, dope, immorality, are the enemies of strong societies. That's why the Communists and left-wingers are clinging to one another. They're trying to destroy us. I know Moynihan will disagree with this, [Attorney General John] Mitchell will, and Garment will. But, goddamn, we have to stand up to this."
