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."

Just because Congress authorized it doesn't make it legal.

Actually it does. Thats the way our government works. Congress, by definition, is the ONLY group who can make something legal.

And as you noticed, its legal UNTIL the supreme court says otherwise.

God, we're going to have to start spend more time on American Government in our schools, you guys have no fucking clue how your own government works.
