So will Snowden be alive in 3 years from now?
Will he need protection from the security services in Russia?
Will he be able to walk the streets freely?
Even if the CIA doesn't come after him, there are probably thousands of shady figures i Russia who'd poke Snowden with a poisoned umbrella or whatever, for a million dollar.... or "accidently" run him over as he crosses the street! There are a million possibilities.... "Oh dear who could have guessed that he had an aneurism and was doomed to die at 31"....
Or am I exaggerating? Can the US admit that they win some and lose some.....
