Of course no one has any guarantees he's going to board that jet. Snowden disappeared in the big black hole of the Moscow airport and this could all be a distraction. But this is the flight he's reported to be on.

“We have nothing to do with this story,” said Dmitri S. Peskov, a spokesman for President Vladimir V. Putin. “I am not in charge of tickets. I don’t approve or disapprove plane tickets. We’re not the proper people to address this question to.”

Now the US is instructing (instructing lol!) the same Latin America countries it's pissed on for decades not to harbor Edward Snowden or aid his travel. They're instructed to detain him and turn him over to US authorities. You can't make this shit up.

Edit: LMAO!
