Ron Paul has postulated that Snowden (of NSA scandal fame or should we say infamy?) could be taken out with a cruise missile or drone. We doubt that would occur. Probably a more realistic assassination proposal would be simply an automobile accident, a slip and fall, a "heart attack" ala Brightbart, or simply choking on his food.
Maybe we have seen too many James Bond movies, however, taking out one notable person in a foreign country, is not an impossible task. We are sure that the CIA has experienced people who could be employed to take this action. If the government did not want to get its hands dirty, there are a lot of "shady" guys who would do the job for a few bucks.
Snowden definitely is a marked man. Will the government be so brazen to make him disappear? Your guess is as good as anyone's. Time will tell.

Ron Paul: Fear Snowden Could Be Target of Drone Assassination
Tuesday, 11 Jun 2013 10:45 PM
“Everybody’s worried about him and what they’re going to do, and how they’re going to convict him of treason, and how they’re going to kill him, but what about the people who destroy our Constitution?” the former Texas Republican congressman asserted. “What kind of penalty for those individuals who just take the Fourth Amendment and destroy it? What do we think about people who assassinate American citizens without trials and assume that that’s the law of the land? That’s where our problem is.”
Paul said that “our problem isn’t with people who are trying to tell us the truth about what’s happening” as in the case of Snowden, and he fears that the U.S. government may try to kill the former contractor.
“I’m worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a Cruise missile or a drone missile,” Paul said. “I mean we live in a bad time where American citizens don’t even have rights and that they can be killed, but the gentleman is trying to tell the truth about what’s going on.”
Paul added that there are no signs Snowden is trying to sell U.S. government secrets to Russia or another foreign government, otherwise he wouldn’t have made himself so vulnerable.
“He’s not defecting, there are no signs of that happening,” Paul said. “It’s a shame that we are in an age where people who tell the truth about what the government is doing get into trouble.”
He pointed to the case of a CIA agent who was imprisoned for acknowledging that torture takes place at Guantanamo.
“This is not good that the American people are spied on and the secrets are kept in government,” he said. “That’s not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s supposed to be the other way around.”
