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".
Full ACK.

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.
