This weekend NSA whistleblower/leaker Edward Snowden left?a government safe house?in Hong Kong?and flew to Moscow, where he then booked a flight to Cuba.
A bunch of journalists booked seats on the same flight from Moscow to Havana.
Snowden?didn't show.

The Guardian put it this way: "Edward Snowden not on Aeroflot flight to Havana. But a bunch of reporters are.??(Bad news for them: it's dry)."
On Sunday?the 30-year-old?ex-Booz Allen employee?requested asylum?in Ecuador and?CNN reported that the U.S.?revoked Snowden's passport?at some point.
Now it looks like?Russia, or Snowden (or WikiLeaks), pulled a fast one on everybody.
Before Snowden's no-show, Russian President?Vladimir Putin's press secretary told Reuters:?"Overall, we have no information about him."
Now Russia's Interfax news agency is reporting that former CIA technician?is likely outside of Russia.
So almost no one knows where he is.

Snowden leaked the?first concrete evidence?of?the NSA's domestic surveillance apparatus?when he gave Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald ?thousands? of?classified documents. The documents have?corroborated?claims made?by?other whistleblowers.
On Friday the U.S. filed criminal espionage charges against the former NSA contractor, and has been trying to pressure countries hosting Snowden to turn him over.
