Nicaragua and Venezuela willing to grant asylum to Edward Snowden

Assuming he is granted asylum, would he still run into issues getting from Russia to either of the above mentioned countries? Or, once granted asylum, is he free to travel, as long as he doesn't step foot on the soil of a country that's willing to turn him over to the U.S.?

As I understand it, countries can block him from flying over their spaces. He could have to fly around

sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

So ya think we'd shoot down a Russian airliner?

 

Dunno anything about exact air routes, but a line from Moscow to Cuba/Central America goes over many European countries. Then again, is our intelligence hip enough to actually know when he gets on a plane at this point?

Great, of all places,
Nicaragua.  They really want to beef up their spam network I guess.

It might be best for him to avoid transfering planes on US soil. :rofl:

They said there are 5 direct flights from Russia to Cuba every week. They said, for about $200,000, some private jets can get him, non-stop, from Russia to Venezuela.
