That's cool the airport is letting him stay there. I wonder how his conditions are. Good food, a bed?

I don't think they have much choice. He can't leave with out a passport and technically has entered Russia.

Would he need a passport for a flight on a private jet? If so, couldn't Venezuala grant him one?

This has to be fake. An email "allegedly" from Snowden with no PGP signature? (edit): And this is suggestive: ed_snowden@lavabit.com -- someone associated this address to some PGP key in 2010 edsnowden@lavabit.com -- no results

Who says that is the only letter. It is just one of the many. Also other means of communication/confirmation were possible.

The international "no man's land" is more than just an airport terminal. You can take a bus to a hotel and still technically not be on russian soil.

Here is an article by a CNN reporter who checked it all out personally: http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/11/world/europe/russia-snowden-go...

I find it disconcerting that a significant portion of those invited are simply "too busy" to attend. Wouldn't you WANT human rights activists to stir trouble instead of avoiding it?

I also find it a bit strange than a Human Right Activist would just put the letter on her frigging facebook wall
