Edward Snowden: confusion over name helped him leave Hong Kong
Paperwork from the United States demanding the arrest of Edward Snowden confused his middle name and lacked his passport number, Hong Kong said, defending its decision to allow him to fly to Moscow.

Hong Kong's Justice secretary, Rimsky Yuen, said the US had messed up the basic details of its application.
The application listed Mr Snowden's middle name as "James" or simply by the initial "J", but Hong Kong's immigration had the name "Joseph", he said.
"We believe his name needed to be clarified or it would create legal problems," he said.
He added that the US had also failed to provide his passport number. "In our view, passport numbers are key information to identify a person."
The US has lashed out at Hong Kong for failing to detain the former CIA employee and intelligence whistleblower.
