Wikileaks: Snowden Has Not Formally Accepted Asylum Anywhere Yet

Edward Snowden, the source of National Security Agency leaks, has not formally accepted Venezuela's offer of political asylum, nor asylum from any country, WikiLeaks tweeted Tuesday afternoon. This contradicts earlier reporting centered around a Russian official's tweet Monday morning, which has since been deleted.

Wonder why?

Does Snowden know Venezuela records and broadcasts activists' phone calls?

1. I see a real TV opportunity for Fox...

....They could create a TV show that's a cross between THE BACHELOR and SHARK TANK, where each country could keep upping its asylum offer, and we'd work through the list week by week.

along with all other networks. Wikileaks will rule the world, bwahaha!

Rupert Murdoch-Wendi Deng divorce story gets juicier

Maria Puente, USA TODAY 3:09 p.m. EDT June 14, 2013

On Day Two of the Rupert Murdoch-Wendi Deng divorce story, the why angle sparks juicy speculation.


~Snip~

Soon after news broke Thursday that billionaire media mogul Murdoch, 82, had filed for divorce from his third wife after 14 years of marriage, journalists in the U.S. and the U.K. with close contacts to Murdoch and his media empire, News Corp., began twittering about a scandalous possible reason for split.

Said scandal turned out to be the claim that Deng, 44, had an affair with Blair, 60, who happens to be godfather of the couple's two young daughters, Grace, 11, and Chloe, 9.

Blair, the former New Labor PM who was embraced politically by the conservative Tory/Republican Murdoch when he was in power, denied the claim through a spokesman today. But the way the denial was worded led to more speculation.

And it's only Day Two!

~Snip~

"This is not amicable, it's totally public, it's a throw-down-the-gauntlet, we-are-going-to-war kind of thing," says Wolff, a columnist for USA TODAY, The Guardian and Vanity Fair.

6. OAS is meeting now and no EU states are offering apologies

because it was NOT POLITICAL

This is about Pres. Morales accusing EU countries of blocking his passage etc.

Knew it!

It was incompetence and miscommunication.

Goodness and now they're stuck with Snowden. Maybe not though, could be reason for the "delay".
