China will give up Snowden within 72 hrs.

[CK_John]

With Obama at a cyber summit with China, they will bounce Snowden as a leverage option. IMO.

[monmouth3]

1. No doubt about it...nt

[malaise]

2. You think he's still in Hong Kong? n/t

[geek tragedy]

3. Unless he has a forged passport, State Dept knows where he is. nt

[Recursion]

10. We're one of the few countries that doesn't track exits

So, not necessarily.

[oldhippie]

17. How so?

If he flew or took a ferry to the mainland, or, say, Macao, how would the US know?

[geek tragedy]

18. Wouldn't they check his passport there? nt

[oldhippie]

19. Who is "they" and where is "there"?

What are you talking about? Yes, I suppose the Chinese or the Macao govt would check his passport upon entry to their country. How would the US State Dept find out about it? Foreign govts don't report to the US govt. Or do you think that there are US State Dept agents at every port of entry to every country in the world?

4. 72 business hours?

[madinmaryland]

5. Welcome back to DU!!

[In_The_Wind]

20. Interesting

[flamingdem]

6. His company just under bussed him

The powers that be are going to make this tough on him

[roamer65]

7. 72 hrs? I doubt it.

I think Beijing wants to have a lengthy chat with this guy.

[okaawhatever]

13. He already publicy stated there was a cia post inside the Hong Kong embassy. I'll bet he stole some

china/hong kong intel we had before he left. That's what most seeking asylum do.

[premium]

25. A CIA post inside the Hong Kong embassy?

This isn't exactly unknown, every embassy of every country has an intelligence post inside of it.
Not really earth shaking news.

[BenzoDia]

8. Not sure on this. Wonder if they're bargaining on him.

[muriel_volestrangler]

9. That should make him safe for several years, then

with your stellar prediction record ...

[Logical]

11. wow. n-t

[okaawhatever]

12. Maybe we should start an office pool sort of game. Who can fill out squares? nt

[UTUSN]

14. link?!1 haha nt

15. NO CHANCE. Snowden is Chinese Agent/Patsie/Stooge.

China hacked pentagon last month (http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2013/05/china-hackers-pentagon/65628/)

Obama meeting with China PM last week

Snowden (holed up in Hong Kong) said China has a "spirited commitment to free speech and the right of political dissent" what non chinese person would EVER use the term "spirited"?? that statement came straight from China's ministry.

Snowden story is questionable (http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=36139)

Sheeple rallying around Snowden. (see twitter #IStandWithSnowden trending)

Snowden Op has US agent (glenn greenwald)

China is running full court press on USG. US owes them $1 trillion. they have come to collect.

or am I tripping?

16. Snowden left Hong Kong

21. Hello ~ broman

23. Suddenly a shot rang out!

A door slammed! A maid screamed!

Without warning, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon!

[sibelian]

22. Bouncy leverage! Sounds like fun!

I can see Snowden in my mind's eye now, ricocheting off an enormous inflatable model of China.

[randome]

24. Wait a minute. Wait just a minute.

Remember that recent ricin case where the wife accused her husband of sending tainted letters to Obama?

Well, it turned out that SHE sent the letters and tried to frame her husband.

I'm starting to think this innocent 'ballerina' in Hawaii might be calling the shots here. She's really the leader of an organized Taiwanese criminal gang that is trying to bring China and America into conflict!

SNOWDEN IS INNOCENT!

27. I think you're on to something!

The other day a reporter asked her about the Pirouette movement, and she said she knew nothing about leftist rebel leaders in Central America!

I knew then something was up!

26. Do you have a link?
