NSA "whistleblower" revealed, taking refuge in Hong Kong (China)
http://j.mp/1198jb9 (Guardian)
The individual responsible for one of the most significant leaks
in US political history is Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former
technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the
defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working
at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an
employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and
Dell ... On May 20, he boarded a flight to Hong Kong, where he has
remained ever since. He chose the city because "they have a
spirited commitment to free speech and the right of political
dissent", and because he believed that it was one of the few
places in the world that both could and would resist the dictates
of the US government."

Hong Kong (in other words, China) -- interesting choice.
