“Fly Edward Snowden Fly” Looks to Raise $200K / €152K for Private Flight

The United States is doing its best to stop Snowden from reaching one of the countries that has offered him asylum, namely Venezuela, Nicaragua or Bolivia, but some people are trying to help him out.

Despite statements made by Barack Obama that the authorities will not interfere with his flight to asylum, the United States has already made moves against this promise.

First, it has been reported that the US was behind the airspace blockade for the Bolivian presidential aircraft a couple of weeks ago.

Most recently, however, the Secretary of State threatened Venezuela with the closing of NATO airspace, which would push any plane that seeks to take Snowden to Caracas to cross the Pacific rather than the Atlantic to get to destination.
