(7,321 posts)Listening to "It's Your Call" on KAWL an hour ago, William M. Arkin was being interviewed to discuss this subject which is (in part) the subject of his new book [link:American Coup: How a Terrified Government Is Destroying the Constitution|American Coup: How a Terrified Government Is Destroying the Constitution .
In this interview, Arkin mentioned the French Press reporting that Snowden was at the Russian Embassy in Hong Kong, suggesting he could have flown directly to South America directly from Hawaii, and also mentioned that Cuba had denied him passage, (which would explain to me why he wasn't able to fly directly to S.A.)
I have not verified any of this information, so this needs to be checked.
To be clear, the topic was not about Snowden per se., but about the broader more IMPORTANT topic of the National Security State apparatus and the erosion of U.S. Constitutional Rights, which is really at the heart of the matter.
