Were you to actually read the article, you'd see the flight was in June 2013.

He's true though, it wasn't jets.

#7I have no problem with the US filing a criminal complain against Snowden and dispatching a plane to pick him up. I have an entirely big problem with the US government using shadow planes or whatever they want to call them to act on it.
If there is a public filing of a criminal charge all following actions need to be out in the open and "above the board". This cloak and dagger shit screams "you don't have rights if you piss us off" is something the Administration should have changed from day one but instead they just doubled down on it.

#8One thing I don't understand - why would the US care? Why expend resources on trying to capture Snowden? He's basically harmless at this point - he's passed all the information he had to few journalists (which would be a better target now) and there's no way anyone will ever let him near anything more secret than grandma's cookies recipe. Besides petty vengeance, what's the point?

Yeah. Besides petty vengeance, there's no point.

#10I really hope they pardon him eventually. I could be wrong, but don't most americans support what he did?
EDIT: you are probably all correct, plenty of people don't understand/care who he is or what he stands for. I still wish the government would recognize that the NSA is acting unconstitutionally and he called them out on it.
