Not to be the eternal skeptic, but has anyone seen any pictures of Snowden in the Hong Kong or Moscow airports?

Didn't Putin himself say he's there? It's quite a stretch to think that the Russian government was blatantly lying about this. It would be a very strange move that gains them little or nothing. I'm willing to entertain the theory that Snowden left Moscow in the past couple days, though. It is pretty strange that no one has seen him.

    Trusting the word of a politician in one thing, trusting Putin is quite another. Calling Putin a politician is an insult to both politicians and dictators. And don't forget Putins past life, he is well versed in the spy versus spy game.

      Another reason why going to Russia might not have been the best idea.

AFAIK -- no. There are speculations that he may be outside of transit zone, in some hotel under guard(still without crossing border): http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323873904578571603100389138.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732387390457857... This explains absence of photos.

  One would think some enterprising journalist or someone with a cellphone would have seen him and gotten a pic.We see pictures of everyone and everything except for Edward Snowden in airports or on planes.

    Here's an enterprising journalist! "Surreal 21 hour adventure of reporter who deliberately got sequestered at Moscow airport in the hope of finding Edward Snowden" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2351686/Trapped-transit-Surreal-21-hour-adventure-reporter-deliberately-got-sequestered-Moscow-airport-hope-finding-Edward-Snowden.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2351686/Trapped-tran...
