Edward Snowden Still Stuck At Airport, May Be Permitted Entry Into Russia Soon

sl4shd0rk writes "Edward Snowden, the enlightening NSA Whistleblower, may have been granted refuge in Russia as reported by Interfax News. He has apparently been given papers (and a change of clothes) by the Russian government to allow him to soon leave the Sheremetyevo airport. The delay in exodus, cited by a Russian official, is apparently due to the 'uniqueness' of the situation being cause for thorough review of Snowden's Asylum request." Reports are conflicting; WaPo and Reuters say Snowden's Asylum application is still in limbo, whereas other sources are claiming only minor details are blocking his exit and he may be allowed to leave as early as tomorrow. What is certain is that he's not leaving today despite early reports claiming he could.

If he agrees to wear a muzzle and gag, they may even let him talk to his lawyer at Christmas.

No.

Snowden and Assange are going to be in a new reality show produced in Russia

Re:and a change of clothes

I was wondering about some sort of offsite hotel arrangement like that. If he took the bus (though Russian territory) then obviously that was kept on the down low. Then just order some new clothes on ebay, ship to the hotel, and kill some time. If I had one guess, he's just playing Neverwinter on a laptop all day and probably is level 60 already, lol. I've seen like 8 players named Snowden so far so who knows.

Where's Snoden
