This attempt to bag Ed Snowden had failed. So he's going to be charged on the Espionage Act. And now his lawyers are kind of looking for a way out. So they are talking to Iceland and other countries where they think the kind of long arm of America might not reach them. And Iceland, it's interesting, is his first choice because it's quite big into internet freedom. Why doesn't he go there first?

Yeah. I mean, I think that's kind of interesting. Why didn't he pop up in Iceland, if that's the case, rather than in Hong Kong?

And it's at this point where... Who else comes onto the stage but Julian Assange and WikiLeaks?

Enter WikiLeaks. Ed Snowden had previously not chosen to go to WikiLeaks with this stuff. But he's in this no-man's land. He's looking for kind of ways out. And Julian Assange, who is not shy when it comes to publicity, has clearly seen this massive leak of documents. And I think to some extent wants to associate himself with it and so offers help.

Julian Assange, we should say, WikiLeaks, this Australian hacker who takes on the US state, releases loads of videos and documents, becomes a kind of thorn in the side of the US. At this point, Julian Assange is holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, trying to fight extradition to, I think, Sweden on sexual assault charges, which he thinks are a means to get him extradited to America.

It's all part of the plot against him. But he sends one of his lawyers out to help Edward Snowden. And the plan seems to be to get him to Ecuador as the route to freedom. Ecuador being kind of anti-American, anti-imperialist place, which would give him an element of freedom.

Exactly. So they come up with a plan, which is to take a long route to Ecuador via, it looks like Havana. The slow boat to Ecuador.
