Would Snowden Be Welcome In Argentina?

Cristina would probably give him shelter, but then what? If, come next elections, or the one after, there is a major political shift in Argentina, he might see himself in a tough spot.

He is in Ecuador. Same could happen there. I think this guy has really messed up his life.

I'd never even heard of Kurt Sonnenfeld till now.
Is your point that Snowden would be offered the same sort of 'protection'?
Like when Argentina took so many nazis all those years ago?

Feel secure in Ecuador? Put a reward out for his butt, million or so $$$ and let the free market take care of the rest. Do not think the boy thought this thing through very well. More like very, very dumb.

EDWARD SNOWDEN: "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’ll get you in time. But at the same time you have to make a determination about what it is that’s important to you. And if living—living unfreely but comfortably is something you’re willing to accept—and I think many of us are; it’s the human nature—you can get up every day, you can go to work, you can collect your large paycheck for relatively little work, against the public interest, and go to sleep at night after watching your shows. But if you realize that that’s the world that you helped create, and it’s going to get worse with the next generation and the next generation, who extend the capabilities of this sort of architecture of oppression, you realize that you might be willing to accept any risk, and it doesn’t matter what the outcome is, so long as the public gets to make their own decisions about how that’s applied."
