In the modern era you can't really hide so he might as well be as public about it as you can be.
Russia is definitely an interesting move, and Putin has been playing the whole thing very smart. I wonder what he knows that the Russians don't, or what they can now reveal having found out through Snowden rather than the usual sources.
It seems to me the value in Snowden is mostly making public what everyone already knew.

- enko 13y ago> making public what everyone already knew I can't find a link, but there has been a "meme" graphic going around with, I think, a very insightful caption. For years, you go around trying to raise the alarm, and you're a crazy conspiracy theorist. Then when you finally get conclusive proof - it's old news, everyone knows, you've been saying it for years!
