“She said Aeroflot officials had told her \u201cwith a little smirk\u201d that they had been expecting Snowden too.<\/em><\/p>\n

“But Miriam pointed out that Snowden had never actually been sighted in Moscow, and there was actually no real evidence that he had ever been in Russia at all.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Meanwhile a planeload of journalists are now off to spend the day in Cuba.”<\/em><\/p>\n

UPDATE: 4:41 AM, PST: Guardian now reporting<\/a> (ht: Interfax) Snowden is “probably already outside the Russian Federation.” Confused yet?<\/p>\n
