Everyone seems to think this guy should go and hide. But if he is hiding he can't defend himself publicly. I think we all know that the US can eventually find him. We also know that if he is found cowering in some hole, far from media scrutiny, that he's likely to be killed, or secretly rendered for torture. Retreating to a semi-friendly place like HK where the press might not be completely captured by US influence, where the gov't might not be completely pliable may have been the best thing he could have done.
