Fugitive secrets-spiller Edward Snowden isn’t yet out of his monthlong Moscow airport limbo, but U.S. officials have warned that Russia is provoking a diplomatic crisis with its reported granting of refuge to the American charged with espionage and theft.

Snowden, who arrived at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport June 23 with a revoked U.S. passport, was reportedly informed Wednesday that the Federal Migration Service would provide him with documents that would allow him to finally cross into Russian territory. Because he arrived from Hong Kong with no valid travel documents, he was denied entrance by border officials and has also been unable to buy airline tickets to go elsewhere.

Forget Soros. The list of real defectors is long. I'm sure just the act of escaping USSR was a crime in USSR. At the bottom of the page you can see the list of "notable defectors," and they told CIA far more than Snowden ever knew (being young and inexperienced, on lower rungs of the ladder.)

Russia wants Eddie Snowden.

Or at least the famous red-headed Russian spy Anna Chapman does ...


Anna Chapman

Her daddy was high up in the KGB.

I'd guess if a Presidential Vote were held today between Obama and Putin - PUTIN WOULD WIN!

Snowden, please confirm our suspicions about the Muslim king so we can IMPEACH THIS BASTARD!

Sure but if he wants to rub Zeros nose in it, pick a high profile lib that will be defended with every excuse in the world. Then Zero looks like an even bigger idiot on the world stage.
