Breaking: "Snowden flees to Venezuela, via Russia & Cuba. This man gets around.

Venezuela's not a bad choice of a place to find sanctuary. I pray for his safety and
long life.

National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has fled Hong Kong with the ultimate intentions of reaching Venezuela, a Russian airline source told Reuters on Sunday.

The South China Morning Post reported on Sunday that Snowden had left Hong Kong on a commercial flight to Moscow. From there, he is expected to travel to Cuba and then Venezuela, a Russian airline source said.

“Snowden left Hong Kong on his own will,” a Hong Kong government official told the South China Morning Post.
