Snowden's Hong Kong "friend"
One aspect of the Snowden affair that was only mentioned in passing was this:

"When Mr. Snowden came to Hong Kong from Hawaii in late May, he looked up a person whom he had met on a previous vacation here. That person, whom Mr. Ho declined to identify but described as a well-connected Hong Kong resident, became Mr. Snowden’s “carer.” Mr. Snowden accepted an invitation to stay in the home of one of that person’s friends when he checked out of the Mira Hotel on June 10, and the individual put him in touch with two local lawyers. "
I am really curious about this "well-connected Hong Kong resident" whom he just happened to meet on his "vacation", and whether he (or she) had anything to do with subsequent events and Snowden's assumption that he would find a safe haven in Hong Kong.
