> The most important points are, Snowdens passport has not been revoked. Its not even legal per the US state dept website to do so.

His passport has been cancelled according to all available reports. I think you're confusing citizenship (which cannot be revoked) with the passport (which can be cancelled).

Quote: "As is routine and consistent with US regulations, persons with felony arrest warrants are subject to having their passport revoked. Such a revocation does not affect citizenship status."

There's no official word from the State Department confirming this has occurred due to "privacy".
