US whistle-blower who leaked surveillance scandal is 'missing'
[quote]An ex-CIA employee who leaked details of US top-secret phone and internet surveillance has disappeared from his hotel in Hong Kong.
Edward Snowden, 29, checked out from his hotel on Monday. His whereabouts are unknown, but he is believed to be still in Hong Kong.

Well this sucks.

*blows whistle in US* *runs to Hong Kong* theseseemlikeprettychillguys.jpg "We're not that chill, you should leave." -Hong Kong *leaves Hong Kong* Why is this a surprise?

He already said he'll be moving around frequently.

Either he is [i]truly[/i] under the radar on his own will, or he had a '[i]car accident.[/i]'
-
Is this really a surprise?
-
Either he decided to go into further hiding, or someone made him go missing.
