For what, to be captured by the NSA?
There was a person with a German passport years ago, he was wrongly held in Guantanamo for a while ... against all international rights. Even after they concluded, that there is no evidence against him, they still kept him for some years.

Do you think, only because Snowden has got some German looking waste-paper, the NSA will stop hunting him down?
Dream on!
- toyg 13y agoNo, but he can then legally hang around Russia or some other half-safe country without embarrassing the local government. At the moment his situation is squarely in Putin's court, which is diplomatically problematic. Should he get a new valid passport from any other country, Putin could wash his hands of it and let him stay without looking too adversarial.
- PythonicAlpha 13y agoPossible. But most people understand by asylum, that he comes to Germany. I hope, you don't want to unembarrass Putin ;)
- toyg 13y agoAn unembarrassed Putin is a safe Snowden, which is all that matters at this point :)
