Edward Snowden Leaves Hong Kong

hazeii writes "Ed Snowden, the U.S. whistleblower responsible for exposing the degree to which the U.S. watches its own citizens (as well as the rest of the world) is reported as having left Hong Kong for Moscow. According to the South China Morning Post, he is on a commercial flight to Russia but intriguingly it seems this is not his final destination. It's not clear whether this move is in response to the U.S. request to extradite him."

Dude its not a POV thing. The U.S. government does not assassinate reporters, or CIA leakers.

Nah, they just send the DOJ, IRS, EPA, ATF and so on after political critics, and harass them until they give up their little "view point." Or did you skip over the recent and on-going issue with the Obama administration targeting tea party groups and throwing every letter agency they can at them.
