In fact, it was President Obama who drove Edward Snowden straight into Russia's "loving" arms. This NSA story has morphed into a perverse love story of two battling dictators in love with the mouse who possesses the laptop and thumb drive cheese running away from one into the den of the other.
After denying it yesterday, today, President Putin finally admitted he did know where Edward Snowden was located. Putin admitted he has Snowden in the airport "transition area." Putin also thumbed his nose at Obama with the equivalent of a huge Russian finger eagle flying high and prominent when he basically said, "F you and the horse you rode in on, Obama.

Stay tuned as Team Obama continues to screw up what should have been an easy win for everyone involved, including Snowden.

So, the fact that Putin acknowledged he has Snowden so quickly says that he delights in tweaking America's nose because he didn't really get anything else of much value. Snowden told Russia what they needed to know to keep the balance of power internationally as now everyone knows the same information.
Who knows? In a strange twist of events it may be Edward Snowden ends up as a traveling international ambassador that helps keep the balance of power, bringing down world political tensions. One thing is for sure, none of us know the whole story yet about what Snowden discovered while working at the NSA.
