Ron Paul seems to think it could happen. As the former Congressman from Texas recently told Fox News, "I'm worried [that] somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile."Is that even possible? Paul's slight ambiguity aside--he laughs softly throughout the clip--is the specter of extrajudicial killing now just another thing to keep Snowden up at night? Given the US government's unsettling, if still nebulous criteria for assassinating its own citizens on foreign soil, it's certainly possible. Paul could have a point. And it's not like Snowden isn't expecting the hammer to drop in one way or another, and soon.
