Whistleblower My Ass: Snowden's Russia Connection Confirmed by Putin

[DevonRex]

19. Wall Street Journal: (Haha, Putin is a fucking liar) Snowden couldn't go to Cuba

because the US voided his passport. Good God. The US voided his passport while he was in Hong Kong but he still flew to Russia. Putin isn't even bothering to lie well. He wants the whole world to know this was his operation. He's a typical sociopath. He wants credit for his "kills." Just like a serial killer. Which he is. Ex-KGB asshole.

"The Russian leader said the next time he heard about Mr. Snowden was two hours before the Aeroflot flight that brought him to Moscow was due to land. He had initially planned to connect with a flight to Cuba and ultimately to Ecuador where he had obeen promised asylum, but was stopped in his tracks when the U.S. voided his passport.

Mr. Putin, who was in the KGB during the Soviet Union, criticized that decision as poor tradecraft as it stranded Mr. Snowden in Russia where U.S. agents would be unable to get to him.

“Representatives of the American special services–and I hope they won’t be angry–but they could have been more professional, and the diplomats as well. After they found out that he was flying to us, and that he was flying as a transit passenger, there was pressure from all sides — from the Americans, from the Europeans — instead of just letting him go to a country where they could operate easily,” he said.

Mr. Putin said Russia would not consider returning Mr. Snowden to America to face trial as the two countries do not have a formal extradition treaty."
