The protest today in Hong Kong seemed to have been okay. The expectation was for 200. Actual count was between 900-1,000. The event is not at all (as of now) reported by the usual suspects, including bbc, CNN, nyt, wsj, and ... Fox News. The irony is magnetic. One officialdom press of the new sovereign, global times, already termed young Edwards a political persecution victim, hinting to HK authorities the acceptable interpretation. HK law specifically disallows extradition of victims of political persecution. It was a clause that Britain insisted on in the negotiations leading up to the handover, and well supported by team America at that time. Too funny. Team USA may be in a no-win / definite-lose situation. Failure to file for extradition would say to one and all would-be conscientious objectors that it is okay to tell-all and then go to Hong Kong. Filing for extradition would throw the entire matter to the Hong Kong court where all, as in everything, would be revealed per requirement of British common law practiced under the sovereign and nuclear protection of the son of heaven. Delicious. Hong Kong, if played astutely, can advertise to the world, "we are open, transparent, per rule of law, far better than lapdog Singapore, and free" China can just sit back and do absolutely nothing, except to get at you g Edwards' computers, to aggregate the good bits for use later, as NSA so generously delivered so much secrets on so many important people of a lot of friendly and less friendly nations to all nations. Suspect wiki leaks as well as main stream media shall feast on judiciously timed and yummy choreographed leaks in the coming months and even years, as candidates tee themselves up for elections and businesses set themselves up for acquisitions (that must satisfy china anti-trust authorities) around the planet. Let me quote you, just this once, "giggle" :0)
