Did Russia Trick Snowden Into Going To Moscow? 346
An anonymous reader writes "Ex-KGB Major Boris Karpichko says that spies from Russia's SVR intelligence service, posing as diplomats in Hong Kong, convinced Snowden to fly to Moscow last June. 'It was a trick and he fell for it,' Karpichko, who reached the rank of Major as a member of the KGB's prestigious Second Directorate while specializing in counter-intelligence, told Nelson. 'Now the Russians are extracting all the intelligence he possesses.'"

Here's where the plot twist falls into play: Snowden is still working for the NSA but is feeding Russia misinformation. It's all a very elaborate scheme to trick our old adversaries. While the price to pull it off was high with releasing top secret information, it wasn't exactly anything that everyone didn't know or think was happening.

What's next!?!
First, he's a nobody who didn't get away with anything...
Then, he's a script kiddie who got away with a few things...
Then, he's an average IT person who probably got help...
Then, he's a mastermind terrorist trying to topple the U.S. government...
Now... he's a dupe of the Russian spy agencies.
Next month, he'll be a long-term deep-cover Russian mole sent to steal all the U.S. secrets... ;)
Month after that, he'll be the next Bond villain, sitting is his swivel chair and stroking his white cat
What *will* they think of next!!!
