Miscellaneous Musing #54 Update
In
Miscellaneous Musing #54, I wrote that Snowden "seeks asylum in polities
which (save Iceland) are unfriendly to the USA"; since then, however,
WikiLeaks [sic] has released the names of 19 more states to which he has made
requests either for asylum or for assistance in seeking asylum. The total
list now comprises Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, the People's Republic of China,
Cuba, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, India, the Republic of
Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain,
Switzerland, and Venezuela; just one third of these, i.e., Bolivia, mainland
China, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Russia, and Venezuela, can really be
considered US antagonists.
