Let me get this straight...

Snowden's girlfriend just caught a commercial flight to Moscow and has been living with him since July and it was completely unknown by almost everyone up to now, without the Russian media or the NSA getting wise?? Do I have that correct??

Yet Mr. Counterintelligence IT expert/CIA-trained über-field agent is "stuck" there hopelessly and dependent on the kindness of strangers?

Doesn't quite add up to me, at least...

Are mom and dad also planning to make the move soon, or are they already over there and being hidden for the next big reveal?

...that it was "completely unknown by almost everyone"????? I mean, really????? Or are you just sore because he didn't notify you personally?

Of course, it means that those who ragged on him for "deserting his girl friend" will have to find another song to sing.

Which, no doubt, they will do.
