I can only assume the reason China and Russia are being so accommodating to Snowden is because he is giving them unfettered access to all of the info he stole from the NSA.
Then I read this little gem today..

So he took the job as a contractor with the NSA just so he could steal secrets and take them to China and Russia and maybe even now Cuba.. That is the same thing Bradley Manning did  IMHO he's a straight up traitor. |
My very quick, to-the-point opinion is that if he actually thought what he did was right (for his country), he would face the music and defend himself.
