Edward Snowden is likely headed to Venezuela, presuming he’s able to get out of the airport transit area in Moscow.  That, from the reporter who seems to have the best connection to the fugitive surveillance contractor who spilled and continues to spill information about America’s electronic eavesdropping on the world.

Reporter Glenn Greenwald spoke with Snowden via online chat and said that Venezuela is most able “to get him safely from Moscow to Latin America and to protect him once he's there,” Greenwald said.  “They're a bigger country, a stronger country and a richer country with more leverage in international affairs.”

Nicaragua and Bolivia also offered asylum to Snowden.

Greenwald also said that any resolution to Snowden’s situation could take hours or weeks.

WikiLeaks, which has been advising Snowden, hinted that new developments could be coming up on Wednesday. 

Greenwald also shot down suggestions that Snowden had given China and Russia sensitive information from his cache of pilfered intelligence documents, in exchange for passage of shelter through those countries.

“He gave no information of any kind to the Chinese government or the Russian government,” Greenwald said.
