| Description | "Argo" this ain't.
Edward Snowden is on his own, it appears. The CIA is hunting, not helping him.
Unless he's working hand in glove with Chinese or some other spy agency, he has no access to master disguises and clever operational support, as the American diplomats who escaped Tehran did.
Moreover, the disillusioned former NSA contractor is a techie, not a trained operative. Assuming he's not working with a foreign intelligence agency, his only hope for evading capture for a few more hours or days, say former CIA operatives, is staying off the grid and holing up in a low-rent bordello or someplace else that doesn't require a credit card.
Snowden can be certain the NSA is listening closely for his phone calls or credit charges. Likewise, the CIA and DEA have certainly pinged all their Hong Kong assets--from local police sources to bartenders, hookers and hotel concierges--to be on the lookout for the fugitive. Same for the FBI, which has close relations with Hong Kong counter-terrorism units. His picture is everywhere. |
