EDIT:Here is a recorded session when the NSA tried to recruit University students. They made the grave mistake of allowing questions at the end... Here is the awesome result. The NSA representatives ended up confirming indirectly that they have absolute freedom to spy on anyone, anywhere, as long as higher ups told them to. More importantly they were caught out on the lies their own presentation had said about what they do for a living. https://soundcloud.com/madiha-1/stud...ion-the-nsa-at

Somewhat passed, but Bolivian presidential plane was grounded in Austria over Snowden stowaway suspicions.

In the legislative elections, the Brotherhood and Salafists won about 65% of the vote and an overwhelming majority of the seats. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find as many people in Egypt today who oppose Morsi's ouster as support it.

The BBC's Asia Business Report which aired at 2330 GMT tonight had two fascinating stories, neither of which I can link to because of how limited the BBC's copyrights are when it comes to distribution over the web.
In one the BBC's Seoul correspondent, Lucy Williamson, reported on the decline in the number of Japanese tourists in Seoul and their replacement with more free-spending Chinese. The fall in the yen certainly has made Seoul a less attractive destination for Japanese tourists, but the manager of one high-end duty-free shop traced the start of the decline to the visit by South Korea's President to the disputed Dokdo/Takeshima islands last August. In the other report Jakarta correspondent Karishma Vaswani provided a comprehensive overview of relations between Australia and Indonesia in advance of the upcoming talks between Kevin Rudd and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. She pointed to the miniscule amount of bilateral trade ($10 bn) between two countries whose geographic proximity would suggest a more robust economic relationship. Once again politics plays a role. Australian revulsion to televised scenes of alleged animal abuse in Indonesian slaughter houses triggered a trade war between the two countries. A brief ban on Australian imports of beef processed by Indonesian sellers was met with an Indonesian ban on cattle imports that left Australia's ranchers with animals they could not sell and soaring beef prices in Indonesia.

I just wonder if anyone can get Snowden out of the airport. Wouldn't you think the US has someone watching his every move?
