"We are open, respectful of the right to asylum, and it is clear that if circumstances permit it, we would receive Snowden with pleasure and give him asylum here in Nicaragua," Ortega said at a public event.

I guess the Pirate Party of Iceland didn’t get the vote to extend him citizenship... today was its last day of Parliament before the summer vacation.

I wonder what would be a worse punishment, jail time for espionage in one of our jails, probably TV, library time, education time, exercise, writing a book etc.
Or going to a third world turd pile like Nicaragua and doing what?

China has plans to build a canal in Nicaragua from the Pacific to the Caribbean as a direct competition with Panama. China could be in on the Snowden deal—may be already.

That’s true: once China lands in Nicaragua for the canal, security will not be a problem. They have like, what, 500mil unmarried soldier men with free time on their hands?

It's good to have a traitor as Sec. State.
Good for our enemies.

Didn’t he come back and assure everybody that Ortega wasn’t a Communist right before Ortega went to Russia to seal his ties?

I don't recall the specifics of that but it sounds right.
If brains were dynamite Kerry couldn't blow up a gin-soaked raisin.
