Now They Run?

During the so-called Bushtatorship, left wingers said they'd flee America for better civil liberties abroad. Today, the NSA leaker fled to China for safety. This hope and change stuff isn't what it is cracked up to be, is it?

UPDATE: Okay, since the leaker attempted to serve in Iraq by enlisting in the Army (but was discharged after breaking his legs in training), it isn't fair to assume the man is on the left. I just assumed based on his talking to a left-wing British paper.
