| >So somebody who hasn't been caught lying yet can't possibly lie? Is, as you are well aware, not what I said. >I'm not really believing much of what the NSA or CIA said about him. ...except the accusation that he's a Russian spy which you are very attached to. >I also don't believe the intended travel itinerary. Wouldn't it be easier to make a vacation in Venezuela If he booked a flight to Venezuela and didn't tell anybody he would have been detained at the airport. If he told somebody he would have been investigated and then game over. This was explained at the time. There were certain places people like him could fly to which wouldn't set off any trip wires. Hong Kong was the only one he could fly to where he wasn't just going to be detained and sent home (I mean, he could ahve gone to the UK too but probably not so wise). The NSA did not dispute this part of the story. >How did he know China wouldn't detain/deport him? He didn't. They probably just seemed like the least likely to detain him of all the places he could fly to unmonitored. |
