Snowden on the Move
by Stephen Lendman
Where is Edward Snowden? Unanswered questions remain. Supposedly he traveled from Hong Kong to Moscow en route to Havana and Quito, Ecuador. Or did he? More on that below.
On June 25, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) headlined "Snowden sought Booz Allen job to gather evidence on NSA surveillance."

"If I have time to go through this information, I would like to make it available to journalists in each country to make their own assessment, independent of my bias, as to whether or not the knowledge of US network operations against their people should be published."
He wants nothing released harmful to US security. He wants information revealed important for everyone to know.
He knew the risks and took them. He did the right thing because it matters. He acted responsibly, ethically and legally. He didn't commit espionage as wrongfully charged. HE EXPOSED IT on a massive, unprecedented scale!
He sacrificed financial security and freedom doing so. He explained, saying:
"You can't come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk, because they're such powerful adversaries that no one can meaningfully oppose them."
"If they want to get you, they
