I'm having interesting cut and paste issues here at Blackhat. The last sentence from my previous message didn't belong there...
However, ultimately, on the cosmological scale of things, I guess it really doesn't matter...
You underestimate the influence of the good old boy system. He exposed the head of them NSA as a liar, and in so doing made the entire top echelon of the US government look dishonest and foolish.
They want to make him pay, and leaning on weaker governments to not accept his requests for asylum is one way they are trying to do that.
BTW, I am at Blackhat this week, and General Alexander, head of the NSA got a very chilly reception here during his keynote talk yesterday.
The story left out the part about when General Alexander said that all of this NSA civilian surveillance was to protect American freedom, and somebody in the audience shouted, "BULLSHIT!"
It got a bit lively after that...
People seem to forget that it just doesn't matter.

Fascinating. I certainly was surprised so few countries would grant him asylum.-- Owen
