SNOWDEN IN MOSCOW WHERE HE BELONGS

Fuck Obama should really just be the byline of every story on this blog.

From the New York Times:

HONG KONG — The Hong Kong government announced on Sunday afternoon that it had allowed the departure from its territory of Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractorwho has acknowledged disclosing classified documents about United States government surveillance of Internet and telephone communications around the world. 

The government statement said that Hong Kong had informed the United States of Mr. Snowden’s departure. 

A Moscow-based reservations agent at Aeroflot, Russia’s national airline, said that Mr. Snowden was aboard flight SU213 to Moscow, traveling on a one-way ticket to Moscow. The Aeroflot flight landed in Moscow on Sunday afternoon.

There's some speculation he's going somewhere else from Moscow:

Russia’s Interfax news service, citing a “person familiar with the situation,” reported that Mr. Snowden would remain in transit at an airport in Moscow for “several hours” pending an onward flight to Cuba, and would therefore not formally cross the Russian border or be subject to detention.  

Someone close to Mr. Snowden later told Interfax that he planned to continue on to Caracas, Venezuela. “He chose such a complex route in the hope that he will not be detained and he will be able to reach his final destination — Venezuela — unhindered,” the person said.

And, if he does end up in Venezuela, then we will have learned ALL WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WIKILEAKS:

WikiLeaks, the organization that released extensive classified American diplomatic communications three years ago, said in a statement on its Twitter feed that it had “assisted Mr. Snowden’s political asylum in a democratic country, travel papers” and safe exit from Hong Kong, and said in a follow-up Twitter posting that, “Mr. Snowden is currently over Russian airspace accompanied by WikiLeaks legal advisers.”
