Snowden emerges from airport hideout, seeks temporary asylum in Russia - World News

I'm sure there'll be no conflict in Russia. He didn't reveal any of their secrets. I have to laugh about people who are applauding Russia for allowing Snowden in. I wonder what the situation would be, if he'd revealed info about spying by Russia on their citizens. Whatever you may think about the rightness or wrongness of what Snowden did, I don't think it's any reason to applaud Putin & Co. It does however seem to put the lie to the pre-election notion that Putin and Obama were in some sort of cabal. If it ever existed, Putin seems to have "screwed the poch" on that one. I guess Obama wasn't as flexible as the CONS wanted us to believe. However you look at it, Putin is doing this for his own motives, not because he's become a champion of freedom. I can't help put believe that those old KGB ways are lurking just below the surface.
