It was brilliant. Hong Kong didn't immediately jump when the US Government said to jump. It enabled Snowden to get away.

So let's take score. US military has over a hundred bases globally. The CIA operates in over a hundred countries. The US intelligence budget is over $80 billion. The NSA can 'see' practically everything. And there goes Snowden, escaping on a common commercial flight out of Hong Kong.

If anybody looks stupid, it's clearly the US Government.
