(62,325 posts)hoping to find Snowden on board. Of course being a smart guy Snowden KNEW not to fly over any NATO country or allied country which could be 'enticed' into handing him over.
Hong Kong was asked to hand him over and refused, thankfully. They sent him on his way to his next stopover, which was Russia. The US threw a hissy fit and rescinded his passport which forced him to remain in Russia.
Most odd to those of us who believe in Democracy is the lack of investigations into the crimes so many Whistles Blowers have now exposed going back to 2001. Not a single criminal has gone to prison for the massive crimes that have been exposed.
I guess at one time we thought that electing Democrats would finally begin the process of investigating and prosecuting those who have systematically broken OUR and INTERNATIONAL laws for over a decade now.
But that hope is gone.
However we do know that there are still good people within our system still trying to stop the systematic destruction of our rights and still have hope that one day, that 'Ghost Plane' will be waiting to pick up the real crooks, not those who expose them.
