I doubt it. Snowden going to Iceland seems more like wishful thinking, especially by Europeans who wish to it to be a European country to be the one defying the United States. But the only evidence to support him going to Iceland is an indirect approach for asylum. As a European myself, I understand the allure of him going to Iceland rather than a Latin American country. But Iceland cannot afford its political capital to defy the United States, as they still need support from the USA and Iceland lacks immediate allies in defying the USA, unlike either Ecuador and Venezuela.
