    I am so Happy that Snowden is now living in a non authoritarian country where the rights of the citizen are never abused and where the intelligence community never tramples on the human rights of it's people and fine orgainizations like RT continue to tell the unvarnished truth to the masses!!!!!!!! Continue with your Russian lessons Mr Snowden and spend the rest of your days enjoying democracy Putin style
