I fear he may be whisked of to an "undisclosed" location to udergo "enhanced" interrogation techniques. I hope not, but this is almost sounding like a movie plot.

No breathless headlines since he had his HUGE twitgasm about four mighta-been spooks maybe joking about disappearing hero Snowden (name unknown at the time) and powerhouse journo Greenwald. Are all of our radical-centrist cum leftist warrior kings being swept away?

Perhaps we should panic. We should at least tweet about panicking.

to round all the rough edges, and would like these two gents to come out of the shadows, no pun, and clarify their statements.

I have been keeping my eye on that twitter feed all day. (Well, when not doing my job)

suffice it to say, if he finds out these gents are who he thinks they are... those are not ugly ducklings, but chickens coming home to roost. Try to find out what a much younger Mr. Negroponte started in places like oh... El Salvador.

We are not that special

be the Democratic side, on the issues. If he said he heard something interesting, you can count on it being true.

Surely as a Democrat you already knew that? Why the snide attack on a respected Liberal writer?

Sometimes lately I wonder if I went to the wrong site when I log in here.

No matter where he is, you'd think he would have to have used his passport to get out of Hong Kong and into there. And unless he went to mainland China (Shenzhen or other cities by train) or Macau (by ferry), he probably had to fly to whereever he went. They should definitely have records of his travel.

China does not seem like a safe place for him to be, hopefully he is able to take up Iceland's offer.
