how many thousands of people go through that airport?
Doesn't somebody want millions of hits on their YouTube channel?
Every damn car in Russia has a dashcam, take your GoPro inside for your trip people! Get a clip of him doing his nails or something

(62,325 posts)are you just intensely fascinated with Greenwald. That sort of 'gives him what he wants' though, doesn't it? I would ignore him if I were you and thought that what he wants is attention. Makes no sense to give it to him!

(1,134 posts)many of us already figured was happening because we have something called common sense?
All this outrage is years too late and probably a couple hundred billion dollars short.
So yeah I'm MUCH more interested in Greenwald.

(19,429 posts)He's presumably with Sarah Harrison. She is a Brit, so she would need a visa to enter Russia. Unless she secured one in the UK, before leaving for Hong Kong, she can't leave the transit area.

Note that this is never mentioned - this is because they don't want anyone to start examining legal precedent and publishing stories about how Putin lied, Assange lied and how bogus the legal grounding is for Snowden's movement and asylum claim.
FarCenter
(19,429 posts)So it is questionable whether the Russians would regard a car as not part of Russia.
Maybe he curled up in a large diplomatic pouch... those are not supposed to be subject to inspection.
flamingdem
(39,313 posts)Putin will let him get away with it
FarCenter
(19,429 posts)Much better to keep him at the airport.
If not at the transit hotel, I'm sure FSB can arrange some accommodation there.
Airports and Hotels are like a Theater. There is the "front of the house" that the public sees. Then there is the "back of the house" where all of the action takes place.
flamingdem
(39,313 posts)but how awful would that be at one month.
His attorney is in there too, she'll be antsy to leave shortly

However, without giving an explanation, Garzón, who is the law firm's director, stated on Wednesday:
"This serves to state that the law firm ILOCAD has decided not to represent Mr. Snowden, whose whereabouts are unknown."

It will be interesting to see whether Snowden is with Ms. Harrison when she resurfaces.

(39,313 posts)They're going to spend a lot on him since I believe they are footing the bill for his stay now.
FarCenter
(19,429 posts)This might indicate that he is trying to organize his material into some sort of "indictment" of US persons or organizations?
flamingdem
(39,313 posts)so far that's all there was -- it was related to Balthazar Gurzon's decision not to take the case

(62,325 posts)the attention you think he wants and focus on the revelations that actually do have a huge impact on this country. He'll probably die, or disappear, but it won't change a thing about what they are trying so hard and so stupidly to hide.
snooper2
(30,151 posts)What is he, a loser?
He can't follow through?
Can't get free wi-fi in the transit area?
Come on Snowden, leak it all or he's just a low level IT admin who got a hold of a Verizon document.
No wonder our President plays him down-

(75,480 posts)In this day of cell phone and surveillance cameras everywhere, You Tube and Face Book should be bursting with videos and photos of Snowden sightings. Yet, the only photo is of his empty chair on the flight to Havana he supposedly missed. Yeah. This is mighty suspicious.

(11,785 posts)It's a big airport, with a lot of people milling around.

(26,355 posts)If he succeeded in ditching the press, and is sipping pina coladas in Ecuador right now, good for him. Especially since he got a whole bunch of slavering "journalists" on a 12 hour flight from Moscow to Havana. A dry flight. No alcohol.
