Whereabouts of former NSA contractor whose leaks to Guardian have caused global controversy a mystery after he does not catch expected flight to Cuba

[Izzy Dunne]

I’d heard he was seeking asylum in Ecuador. Has that changed?

He flew from Hong Kong to Moscow yesterday.

He has allegedly sought asylum in Ecuador, was going to leave on a plane to Cuba.

Tricked a bunch of journalists into watching an empty plane seat.

( gotta love it)

There is much much much more to this story.

I am withholding judgment until I see how this plays.

There were a lot of leaks prior to this that led to scandals for Obama.

Don’t piss of the CIA. Oh, and the CIA and the NSA aren’t exactly buddy buddy.

This one could have been done with the same purpose.

By someone’s hand.

Is Snowden a pawn or was he acting alone.

I doubt he was acting alone.

News out of the UK reports that Ecuador is processing Snowden’s asylum request

tomorrow’s headlines....he has disappeared, no one knows where is....the hunt continues......wink wink....never to be seen again....

My guess is that Snowden is presently in the custody of the U.S.A. I hope I am wrong.... we shall see.

To add to the speculation:

A White House petition to pardon Edward Snowden, who has been charged with three felonies so far, has garnered more than 100,000 signatures, the threshold for earning an official reply.

The petition gained the needed signatures with more than two weeks to spare in the petitioning period. The White House presents the petitions as a way to include “your voice in our government.”

Same here. My initial post on this story was that he would find himself in a oubliette, where he will never be seen again.

I don’t care for The Guardina, although I often check out their
on-line stories, but I was grinning from ear to ear when I
heard the editors comment to Garrett.

These guys don't play by the rules. This Snowden guy could be worth more than that miniature giraffe to the right party. Surprised the Chinese didn't grab him.

[Daffynition]

Let’s all relax. FN will assign Geraldo to find him.

There is much much much more to this story.

But why did he pick Russia? From Hong Kong?

Forgive my edit:
