Breaking: Alleged NSA Leaker Edward Snowden to Meet Human Rights Groups at Moscow Airport Today

1. Finally! This is good news. I hope he gets an escorted trip to South America.

The U.S. position (or should I say dictate) is absurd--that nobody is permitted to fly this man to offered asylum. He is being hunted by the U.S. strictly for political purposes, to maintain an illegal and unethical and unconstitutional program of massive surveillance at home and abroad.

Obama should be the one granting him asylum--should give him immunity and invite him home to tell all. Instead, Obama is defending this Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld era abomination.

Will the U.S. offend and detain and insult the Red Cross, or Amnesty International, or whatever human rights group is in contact with Snowden, like it did President Evo Morales, igniting a firestorm of criticism in Latin America and multiple offers of asylum to Snowden from that region? The firestorm will only spread if the U.S. does this.

I hope the U.S. doesn't. I hope there has been an agreement to turn the matter over to a human rights group. It is a "no win" for Obama if he keeps this up. And why has he not condemned this invasive and massive spying program? He could change the course of history--our plummet into a corpo-fascist state. It doesn't seem at all likely that he will, but he should.
