Assange ‘apology’ over Snowden asylum row

[longship]

9. Hoo boy! Snowden's in a bit of a pickle barrel.

And just maybe Julian Assange helped put him there? Am I interpreting this right?

Events are overtaking the situation and Snowden's options seem to be non-existent. I bet he now hopes for continued Russian tolerance, which seems to be all that remains of his hope.

I would bet that Putin is not going to allow the situation to go very far before he does something, either for or against. There's not much of a neutral stance left to any of the players and nobody seems willing to commit.

Regardless of how one thinks of Snowden, he should be correctly very worried right now.

This thing is unravelling faster than a Walmart sweater.
