As a Brazilian living in Europe, I think Brazil would offer some compelling advantages for Snowden over Russia and Europe. Today, despite its many problems, Brazil offers more civil liberties and is more willing to confront the US than Europe. Our government is notoriously chaotic and naive, and ideologically most Brazilians are pro Snowden. He would find many allies there, not only Glenn Greenwald. His only concern in Brazil (besides violence etc.) would be not being kidnapped by the CIA and smuggled back to the US. In this regard Brazil is probably less safe than Russia. But Snowden is probably smart enough to handle this. It would be awesome to see Snowden enjoying the summer Olympics in Rio all healthy and tanned, taking pictures with american celebrities, accompanied by a Brazilian model, etc. Maybe this could help him stay in focus to eventually get his amnesty. It would also be a win for Brazil as they want to improve information security and Snowden is the best consultant they could possibly get. He would likely make a fair amount of money in Brazil, also.
