I'm not taking sides here but Snowden is wrong on the facts about passport revocation. It is perfectly within the established law to revoke the passports of fugitives with federal arrest warrants. It doesn't make you a "stateless person" or "exile" you -- you're still welcome to return voluntarily.
The relevant U.S. law is 22 CFR 51.70 and 51.72 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-1999-title22-vol1/xml/CFR-1999-title22-vol1-sec51-70.xml http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-1999-title22-vol1/xml/CFR-1...
He does have a point that restricting travel does make it harder for you to seek asylum. But that's nothing new.
