OP
Can a changeling know the difference between a 'real' human being and another changeling?

He certainly got himself in a huge mess. And Greenwald just put him in grave danger.

He's put himself in this no-win situation.

How do the untrustworthy decide who to trust?

He said if anything happens to Snowden then information will automatically be released that will bring the United States to its knees. Seems to me that's something our enemies would want to happen.

Sure, they'd never rummage through his computers while he's napping or on the toilet.

and their government more.

He doesn't have a whole lot of people to whom he can turn at the moment.

He really is alone.

From a whole lot of people, not least those in his current location.

If the Human Rights organizations in Russia are not penetrated, the FSB is not doing its job.
