The intelligence
whistleblower Edward
Snowden will on Monday
attempt to complete an audacious escape to the relative safety of South America
after his departure from Hong Kong escalated already fraught diplomatic
relations between the United
States and China.
In a move that appeared to bewilder the White House, Snowden was
allowed to flee Hong Kong on Sunday morning and head to Moscow on a commercial
flight despite a formal request from the US to have the 30-year-old detained
and extradited to face espionage charges for a series of leaks about the
National Security Agency (NSA)
and Britain's spy centre, GCHQ.
Arriving in Moscow Quito Cuba
Snowden has asked for political asylum in Ecuador,
the country that has also given shelter to the WikiLeaks founder, Julian
Assange, at its embassy in London
In a statement on Sunday night,
WikiLeaks, which has been providing legal and logistical help to Snowden in
recent days, said: "He is bound for the Republic of Ecuador
"Mr Snowden requested that WikiLeaks use its legal
expertise and experience to secure his safety. Once Mr Snowden arrives in Ecuador Hong Kong infuriated US politicians, while China Washington
Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Russian
president, Vladimir Putin, said: "I know nothing."
In Washington US Rogers
The Democratic senator Chuck Schumer
added: "The bottom line is very simple: allies are supposed to treat each
other in decent ways, and Putin always seems almost eager to put a finger in the
eye of the United States, whether it is Syria, Iran and now of course with
Snowden. That's not how allies should treat each other and I think it will have
serious consequences for the United States-Russia relationship."
Yet the admission that Snowden had been
allowed to leave was made five hours after he had boarded an Aeroflot flight to
Moscow
Snowden, a former NSA contractor, had previously said he would
stay in Hong
Kong and fight
for his freedom through the courts. He had been at a safe house after giving an
interview to the Guardian revealing himself as the source who leaked top-secret
US
Since then, Snowden has been in touch
with WikiLeaks, which revealed on Sunday that it had been instrumental in
helping him find safe passage out of Hong Kong .
Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald
from the Ecuadorian embassy in London US
On Saturday, the South China Morning Post disclosed details of
new documents from Snowden, which suggested the NSA had hacked into Chinese phone
companies.
For the second time in 10 days General Keith Alexander, the head
of theNSA,
had to defend the agency's activities, and he did not deny the latest
allegations.
"To say that we're willfully just
collecting all sorts of data would give you the impression that we're just
trying to canvas the whole world," Alexander said.
"The fact is what we're trying to do is get the information
our nation needs, the foreign intelligence, that primary mission. The case that
Snowden has brought up is in defending this nation from a terrorist attack. I'm
confident that we're following the laws that our country has in doing what we
do. We have a set of laws that guide how NSA acts; we follow those laws. We have
tremendous oversight by all three portions of the government: the courts, Congress
and the administration."
But China Washington
"They demonstrate that the United States
The fall-out from Snowden's leaks
continued to stir the surveillance debate in the UK Liberty
On Friday, the Guardian revealed GCHQ has put taps on some of the cables that
carry internet traffic in and out of the UK
The programme, which has not been disclosed before, allows GCHQ to keep a vast amount of emails and
telephone calls for analysis.
Chakrabarti said: "The authorities
appear to be kidding themselves with a very generous interpretation of the law
that cannot stand with article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
"Revelations of blanket
surveillance of the British public on such a scale amount to a huge scandal
even by the standards of recent years. At the very least, the prime minister or
foreign secretary should appear before the House of Commons immediately to
explain how this was justified without clear legal authority or parliamentary
debate."
GCHQ has said it complies fully with British
law.

FANGS RULE
A self help guide by Amy Mah (Vampire) for teenage vampire girls, the guide is fully illustrated by manga Artist Heby and is written in an easy to follow A - Z format explaining everything a teenage vampire girl would need to know about living life as a modern Vampire. What is fashionable to wear when eating out? Fang maintenance & how to keep your claws sharp. Should you let a boy bite you on the first date? Easy to understand clear advice is given to every day problems Example: When you get an urge to bite: We all get those normal urges to bite things, and I must point out it is very normal, Claws are all well and good in a fight but a bite gives the extra advantage of getting a refreshing drink at the same time. Lots of girls worry about showing their Fangs in public believing that to show your fangs is rude, but don't be shy they can be a girls greatest asset (ok second greatest asset) if a boy is being rude to you, don't just snarl at him, just bite him! You are a vampire why do you think you have sharp teeth if not for sinking them into a boy that is being rude to you.
VAMPIRE
Today's world is difficult for everyone, especially teenagers. They face the stresses of school, deciding whom to date, and the biggie of sex, just to name a few. Imagine all of those things ten times worse, and you might get an idea of what it's like being a living, breathing teenage vampire. At last, the world can read about the life of a girl with good teeth, her problems with strong sunlight that gave her spots, and the sunblock that made her hair go yucky and produced more spots. Yes, sunlight was dangerous, as she could be the first teenager in history to die from terminal acne! In her everyday life, older vampires expected her to walk about at night in the traditional female uniform, a see-through, 18th-century nightdress, without undies! Well, this female vampire knew why the cold winds blowing along the corridors were called, "male winds," so she wore her see-through nightdress over jeans and a very thick jumper. To be sure that people would still know she was a vampire, the jumper had a very large, pink bat on it. And as to guys, well, it was normal for a girl to dream about guys; she just wished the dreams could have involved chocolates and holding hands, not leaping out at someone, ripping off his shirt, and demanding to know what blood type he was (at least not on the first date).
