Ecuador’s Attempt to Resettle Edward Snowden
Someone hacked the Ecuadorian embassy in Moscow and found a document related to Ecuador’s 2013 efforts to bring Edward Snowden there. If you remember, Snowden was traveling from Hong Kong to somewhere when the US revoked his passport, stranding him in Russia. In the document, Ecuador asks Russia to provide Snowden with safe passage to come to Ecuador.
It’s hard to believe this all happened almost ten years ago.

It’s hard to believe that GITMO is still a functioning prison and death camp 20 years on.(1)
It’s hard to believe that “no enhanced interrogator working for or on behalf of the USA” has been held accountable in a court.
It’s hard to believe that those activities continue unabated, by the same organizations with the same mindsets.
It’s hard to believe that the Senate Report on the CIA Torture program hasn’t been released in full and unredacted form.(2)
There are lots of things that are hard to believe… maybe that’s why people don’t believe them.

1) GITMO currently houses “forever detainees” aka prisoners. These are people who have done nothing, were never charged so never had a trial, but who’s status is “forever”. Forever means until they die. GITMO is a USA “natural death” prison camp.
