We must be clear of the Fox News coverage of the black limo at the Airport in Moscow. That flag on the front right side of the diplo limo was ECUADORIAN, NOT VENEZUELAN. The flags of both respect countries look similar in color scheme, but there are actually big differences in the center of the flags themselves. As far as I can tell, it was Ecuadorians who were there for him. (As stated in an earlier post). In fact, even before he took up Wikileaks offer to be helped, their public advice to him was he flee to Ecuador. Now they are officially assisting him. This may merely then be their publicly stated pre-indictment advice to him being put into practice, i.e. HK-Rus-Ecuador route. I could be wrong and this interesting summer bird could fly to Venezuela via Havana, in which case then I would virulently have to disagree with Mr. Snowden that he was heading for "a democracy".

PS the guy is not stupid, he knows he could be assassinated easily by agents out there trained in those arts, and so a shell game or a fakeout could also be in the making, where they confuse the hell out of whomever wants his butt...after hearing him talk, I think he would be capable of devising such a goose chase until he gets to un-extraditionable soil, and with a group like Wikileaks now backing up, yes, they could have all kinds of ploys going on. If I put my self in his shoes, regardless of whether I were a "hero" or a "traitor", knowing the capabilities of those chasing me globally, I would certainly have such an elaborate, complext plan to confound them and keep my heart beating, or being overpowered and thrown into a van and immediately "hooded".

That is why Snowden has hooked up with Wikileaks, and Wikileaks, knowing what could happen to Snowden, has surrounded him with diplomats and representatives from Wikileaks to prevent any shennanigans on the part of the Chinese gov’t while in Hong Kong, and by the Russians on the layover in Moscow. These people are with Snowden to surround him with dimplomatic protection, eyes that will watch over him at each of the stops on his way to whatever country he ends up in. Very smart of Mr. Snowden; he’s doing exceedingly well outfoxing the various foxes (in particular Obama), wouldn’t you say, for a high school dropout (sarcasm). I’m enjoying the flight of the Snowden today immensely, and look forward to him reaching safety far away from Obama’s clutches.
