Moscow, Russia
Putin and other intelligence officers reported from Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport that Snowden is welcome to leave at any point. Russia's review of Snowden included noting his "complete compliance and willingness to share," but was quick to point out that "[We] sifted through much personal drivel and drama to find the tidbits of the mass surveillance programs. He just kept going on and on about the 19 days of fighting with his now ex-girlfriend between when they moved out of their house in Waipahu, Hawaii and he flew to Hong Kong alone, where she had been claiming his real passion lay. Then he would go on about anime and his mistake to practice his basic Mandarin and his lack of foresight for the prevalence of Cantonese there. And how hard it was to patch things up with his ex with all of his applications for asylum."
Off the record, one official observed: "Snowden's personality is more sensitive than his information." Officials involved in the Snowden case at Sheremetyevo say they have dealt more with the cashiers at groceries stores wondering why they're buying so much Kleenex than they have with the mic-shoving media frenzy surrounding this hot issue.
