The report said he could stay if he kept his mouth shut, and he had a one year visa. MADem Aug 2013 #2

News reports have it that he is free to go where he wants to in Russia. totodeinhere Aug 2013 #11

It might not be up to him--see post seventeen, the link there... nt MADem Aug 2013 #18

Very unlikely - he's allowed to stay where he wants muriel_volestrangler Aug 2013 #14

Do you have a link that supports that assertion? All I've seen is stuff like this: MADem Aug 2013 #17

Thanks for the info. NealK Aug 2013 #3

I am very glad he released the information he released. I am disapointed he did it the way he did... marble falls Aug 2013 #4

Not only that revmclaren Aug 2013 #28

It looks like Obama won't be raising a Stoli in Moskva with Pootie this September. MADem Aug 2013 #29

Why would Putin do that? cstanleytech Aug 2013 #47

Because by Greenwalds own words he is supporting Snowden. revmclaren Aug 2013 #48

I just dont see Putin reneging on the deal he made cstanleytech Aug 2013 #51

I think if Pootie could get two of his very valuable assets back, plus a couple of MADem Aug 2013 #58

Gerard Depardieu doesn't seem too worried about becoming Russian Lugal Zaggesi Aug 2013 #35

He should be worried about pissing people off...he's in hot water already!!!! MADem Aug 2013 #36

Here are some dates for you... MADem Aug 2013 #73

Your most recent citation is from 26 Jul 2013 Lugal Zaggesi Aug 2013 #74

Of course they are "allowed" to travel all over the world, but way to miss the point I made. MADem Aug 2013 #76

You seem disappointed Lugal Zaggesi Aug 2013 #78

I can't help but notice how often you use the "You seem........." card. MADem Aug 2013 #81

I bet President Obama wishes that Lugal Zaggesi Aug 2013 #33

We have one spy they really, really want... MADem Aug 2013 #34

Who knows? Maybe he is? MADem Aug 2013 #67

so he needs a job now picking potatos or who supports him? Sunlei Aug 2013 #72

Unless he's amazingly frugal (in an expensive locale like HI), he had to have help. MADem Aug 2013 #75
