How many times do we have to go through this.

Snowden is not in Russia by choice. He is there because the US government cancelled his passport, and demonstrated what would happen if he tried to go elsewhere by forcing the landing of the Bolivian president's jet based just on a suspicion he might be on board.

I think it's pretty likely this was deliberately done just so they could say "Look! He's in Russia, what a hypocrite!"
