“Not even Caligula, Commodus, or Diocletian had the ability to kill their enemies by remote control from half-way around the world. Rome’s enemies, Gibbon pointed out, were condemned ‘to wear out a life of exile on the barren rock of Seriphus, or the frozen banks of the Danube’ — assuming that they managed to elude the Empire’s enforcers. As Edward Snowden can testify, Washington’s reach is universal, and those who control its apparatus of repression are utterly pitiless. Snowden’s sole sanctuary — his ‘safe and dreary prison’ — is a small section of an airport in Moscow.”
