There is apparently no real evidence that Snowden was ever in Moscow.

47. He won't. RT was just explaining how pilots have the leeway and fuel to deviate

and avoid US airspace. There are so many routes to take to get to Ecuador too. Wikileaks lawyer was just on Democracy Now saying he's "on a safe route to Ecuador" so I assume that means no US airspace. If anyone knows how dirty the US plays, it's wikileaks and Snowden. They won't leave the US an opening to nab him in transit.

Mainland Europe is too easy imo and the European governments can't be trusted not to cooperate with the US because this scandal touches them too. I think it would be even easier to illegally extradite him from Europe and they'd turn a blind eye to it until later when they'd issue a few feeble protests. His information, the same information, will keep coming regardless of where he is and in Ecuador, he'd have a cooperative government and press to support him.
