Snowden Offered Asylum By Venezuelan President

Posted by Unknown on from the zombie-hugo-chavez-wants-american-brains dept.

First time accepted submitter aBaldrich writes "Edward Snowden was offered 'humanitarian asylum' by Nicolás Maduro, the president of Venezuela. The country's official news agency reports (original Spanish, Google translation) that the decision was taken after a meeting of the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela. Maduro denounced an attempt to 'colonize' several European countries, and that he is acting 'on behalf of the dignity of the Americas.'" The Guardian confirms.

    Yes the Russians/Soviet navy have had a lot of experience helping people and cargo get to Cuba/South America on time and in perfect working order.
    The CIA, DIA and mercs did their best to surprise a few of the landings.
    A long range flight is a risk just due to US pressure on flight plans as seen.
    Sub or ship.
