So Mr Snowden has arrived at Moscow airport, and has made a request to Ecuador, for asylum.  Where will he end up?

From a pragmatic point-of-view, it looks like he will not be returning to the USA in the near future, and will have to make a new life….elsewhere.

Bruce Schneier states that we need whistle-blowers, and  that they need protection**.  I agree.

Edward Snowden was never allowed this protection.

If Mr Snowden is innocent, I will keep fingers crossed for you.
