UPDATE: the Pirate Dude admits he didn't show up at the airport

#Snowden did not show up in Oslo, now confirmed. @piratpartiet_no did a great job mobilizing in case he did
Organization Pirate Party Norway claims that spy accused Edward Snowden landed at Oslo Gardermon airport last night.
The party leader Øystein Jakobsen would meet with Snowden when he landed on Sunday evening, according to the partys twitter account.
- We have received information from our international umbrella party, the Pirate Parties International (PPI), that he will stop in Norway. The reason is that this is probably the quickest and easiest way to fly to Iceland, says Tale Østrådal from the Pirate Party to TV2 Norway
Øsrådal also said that Pirate Party in Iceland confirmed Snowdens stay in the country. Iceland has become a haven for people like him, almost a "Pirate Island," says Østrådal.
The paty leader Jakobsen, on the other hand, thanked the former agent. He has sacrificed his whole life for something he felt wrong. What he has done is exemplary. He has sacrificed a life of freedom to inform the public about a serious infringement, says Jakobsen to TV 2

If the ice melts really fast then IF Snowden is in Norway he could end up back over in Asia (China/Russia)

Landed - On time
I hope it's true he was on that flight.
edit: just saw your post above mine, flamingdem, saying he didn't show up.

He is probably at the Venezuelan or Ecuadoran Embassy I suspect.

flamingdem
(39,332 posts)Though seriously I wonder if he was whisked away quickly enough to avoid Putin's goons.
I think he went to the Venezuelan or Ecuadoran Embassy under diplomatic immunity.
They surely knew he'd have to be under lock and key with his lawyer by his side.

I think even Cuba will not allow Snowden to use their airport to get to Ecuador.

At that point, I'd forgive him any wrong he may have done
otherwise he'll have to rumba over to Cuba and hack his way through the Amazon to Ecuador
