Oslo Pirate Party Norway: - Snowden Passed Through Norway to Iceland UPDATE: nein, nein, nein

UPDATE: the Pirate Dude admits he didn't show up at the airport

Øystein Jakobsen ?@Gnurkel 23 Jun

#Snowden did not show up in Oslo, now confirmed. @piratpartiet_no did a great job mobilizing in case he did

Organization Pirate Party Norway claims that spy accused Edward Snowden landed at Oslo Gardermon airport last night.

The party leader Øystein Jakobsen would meet with Snowden when he landed on Sunday evening, according to the party’s twitter account.

- We have received information from our international umbrella party, the Pirate Parties International (PPI), that he will stop in Norway. The reason is that this is probably the quickest and easiest way to fly to Iceland, says Tale Østrådal from the Pirate Party to TV2 Norway

Øsrådal also said that Pirate Party in Iceland confirmed Snowden’s stay in the country. Iceland has become a haven for people like him, almost a "Pirate Island," says Østrådal.

The paty leader Jakobsen, on the other hand, thanked the former agent. He has sacrificed his whole life for something he felt wrong. What he has done is exemplary. He has sacrificed a life of freedom to inform the public about a serious infringement, says Jakobsen to TV 2

But it does seem that Iceland is the most likely to want Snowden.

Melting ice pushes Norway closer to Asia

If the ice melts really fast then IF Snowden is in Norway he could end up back over in Asia (China/Russia)

But I think his main problem is getting out of Russia.

He is probably at the Venezuelan or Ecuadoran Embassy I suspect.

for 90 years. Putin has to be licking his chops. Watching them in Ireland, he looked like he'd be glad to stick his thumb in Obama's eye. Does Snowden really have four laptops with him?

Though seriously I wonder if he was whisked away quickly enough to avoid Putin's goons.

I think he went to the Venezuelan or Ecuadoran Embassy under diplomatic immunity.

They surely knew he'd have to be under lock and key with his lawyer by his side.

too much to lose with US relations.

I think even Cuba will not allow Snowden to use their airport to get to Ecuador.

with a saber in his mouth and a parrot.

At that point, I'd forgive him any wrong he may have done

otherwise he'll have to rumba over to Cuba and hack his way through the Amazon to Ecuador
