I also believe there is an international arrest warrant in Spain and France for Henry Kissinger too, but one that is ignored by all and sundry.
This shows without any doubt that the US view the international Rule of Law as non-existant, and shows the world that the US is nothing short of a gangster state imposing it's will on anyone who doesn't do what they demand.
I also would not now be entirely surprised if the US learned that Snowden was on board a commercial airliner heading for safety somewhere, they would divert that aircraft with armed jets, board it and arrest him. Ditto a vessel on the high seas.
This single act is, I suspect, going to have far reaching repercussions, and I shouldn't wonder that some sort of blowback is going to hurt Uncle in the long term.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
