Wow! Is he?

The party leader Øystein Jakobsen would meet with Snowden when he was supposed to land on Sunday evening, according to the party’s twitter account.

- We have received information from our international umbrella party, the Pirate Parties International (PPI), that he will stop in Norway. The reason is that this is probably the quickest and easiest way to fly to Iceland, says Tale Østrådal from the Pirate Party to TV2 Norway

I'm seeing contradictory reports, and am not convinced since this seems to be a few days old.

Snowden's asylum options dwindle - CNN.com

This seems more likely.

Zzzzz.

It would be a shame to bomb Iceland.

Snowden sought Austrian asylum: Austria


VIENNA | Tue Jul 2, 2013 5:46am EDT

(Reuters) - Former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden applied for political asylum in Austria via the country's Moscow embassy on Monday but would need to submit such a request directly in Austria, Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said on Tuesday.

The Austria Press Agency quoted her as saying Snowden would not be deported if he arrived in Austria because "there is no international arrest warrant".

Why bomb Iceland?

The enemy (Snowden) of my enemy (Obamarroid) is my friend

So he'll get to hide for the rest of his life in Iceland? Good for him I suppose...

Whoops! Austria's a beautiful place. No offense against Iceland but it's not exactly one of the top places I'd ever want to live

Yeah, that's not a reach or anything.

I am reading that : The interior minister of Austria , Johanna Mikl-Leitner, said Snowden would have to submit his request for asylum while on Austrian soil. But she added that he would not be deported if he arrived in Austria because "there is no international arrest warrant".


So things are still very fluid.
