Can he use this document to travel to another country?

 

Ed Snowden Assassination Pool has begun.

My pick: 2/14/14

Way to show the world you stand for freedom by getting in bed with Putin. Wouldn't expect anything less from a libertarian.

 

As opposed to going to some nice, compliant US ally such as Australia, New Zealand or the UK? Somewhere they'd be all too happy to hand him over to stay in Uncle Sugar's good books? I'm sure Bradley Manning shares your skepticism.

So, let's recap, members and moderators.
Crazy Eddie, a drama queen with no life accomplishments,
spotty employment record,

no friends,

He can't even bring this bozo to justice.

 

Is anything I said false?
I am not inflaming the passions of the membership.
I am stating rather settled realities that should be clear to all.
