It's game #1.

See, Tisdale writes that as if he didn't know that the countries signed extradition treaties. Snowden may merely head for a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US and be legally in the clear. Tisdale knows that but prefers to play game #1 with you, the reader. It's all in fun... unless you're the 13-year-old.

The White House is furious at the non-cooperation it has received. But has it occurred to them that maybe not just the Russians and the Chinese, but those soft, liberal Europeans and all the other neutrals also don't like the idea of being spied on by an out-of-control transnational agency beyond the reach of the law, any law, anywhere?
Physician, heal thyself: we are learning that the British version of PRISM is bigger than PRISM. But exposing that doesn't play game #1.
