  I doubt that his why he has chosen Ecuador as a place of asylum. It's because they won't respond to an extradition request. http://www.cpj.org/blog/2013/06/new-ecuadoran-legislation-seen-as-gag-law-to-muzzl.php http://www.cpj.org/blog/2013/06/new-ecuadoran-legislation-se...

    Nor does Russia, which seems like the most logical choice.

      Perhaps. The chances of being used as a pawn seem much higher in Russia.
      • cpursley 13y ago
        True, but less chance of being taken out.

    He's chosen Ecuador because they've already granted asylum to Assange.

  Ecuador has an very poor human rights record. One of my colleagues is a former Ecuadorian journalist who was blacklisted for criticizing the government and had to flee the country. Strange choice for Snowden, given that.
