I don't think I would want to be an ex-NSA agent with "asylum" in Russia or China right now or at any time in the near-future.

Agreed - very dangerous for Snowden to be in China, considering that torture is routinely used in interrogation.
And the US do not waterboard people it interrogated right?
I didn't say I recommended he come back to the US any time soon.
Waterboarding was banned in 2009 by presidential order.
On the same day he signed an order to close the detention facility in Guantanamo, if memory serves.
