The Days of Snowden’s Life

If the saga of turncoat Edward Snowden were not so damaging to the national security, it might seem like the plotline of a bad soap-opera.  Since the former National Security Agency contractor arrived in the transit lounge at the Moscow airport nine days ago, he has been frantically seeking a place to escape American justice.

There are good reasons why no friend of the United States will help.  Snowden reportedly joined the NSA for the purpose of exposing its secrets.  He continues to do so, harming the national security.  And he may have given Chinese and Russian intelligence as-yet-undisclosed data.

The next plot twist? Snowden may fly to rabidly anti-U.S. Venezuela on the presidential plane of Hugo Chavez’s successor, Nicholas Maduro, now visiting Russia.  This appalling soap opera continues.  Stay tuned.
