The real story of Ed Snowden's escape from Hong Kong. "We must have been crazy."

There's an old saying -- surely born in Ireland: "God looks after drunks, widows, and Irishmen."

Add Edward Snowden to the list.

Snowden and the team of lawyers in Hong Kong who helped him escape didn't know what the heck they were doing. It is a wonder MI6 didn't grab him. 

Well, Canada's National Post has an exclusive on the story -- and photos. The part that really got to me is that he wouldn't give up working on the blasted internet, even after the authorities had clearly traced the signals to a slum where he was hiding. [shaking her head] 

Luck of the Snowden.
