Well, let's hope we don't hear reports about him being seen attempting to run across the N. Korean border.

I expect him to disappear, never to be seen again. Later, there will come rumors and "high credibility" reports of him being seen in Beijing or Moscow - which will "only go to show he was working with foreign enemies all along" and that his going public was a desperate attempt to gain sympathy and protection after his original deal with "whoever he was working for" with went sour.
I also expect to see more airplay for his dippy dancer girlfriend who is now spouting childish and self-serving nonsense on her blog. Gag!
(Note: her actual blog has become inaccessible lately in the wake of the above. Try the wayback machine...)

Actually, as of now, he's in hiding voluntarily. There was an interview with his contact at the BBC (can't get to the link right now) with a pointed question of do you know where he is now? And the answer was yes, but I'm not telling.
Of course, that makes that bloke a target...

Hm... No, they need to keep him in view as an example warning to others. It's to easy to write one's own ending (DB Cooper) if he vanishes. Mock trial and a Public apology while looking defeated before being whisked off to prison ... Where he can easily be incidentally killed to keep the official story short and tidy.

No they don't. And his silence is more valuable than him being around as an example. The spin doctors are only preaching to the choir and the borderline undecided anyway. And roughly 50% plus change of the population already think he shouldn't have done it regardless.

Yes it is. But that works both ways. Like BinLaden - it's scarier when you know the shark is out there somewhere rather than right alongside your boat where you can do several things about it.
No...out in the wild somewhere (eeek! :tellme:)...using his knowledge to aid and abet the enemy? I think he's far more valuable to the current powers if it's generally believed he's still loose and unpunished. That gets people angry because "he got away with it." And also serves as justification for expanded "security" legislation and suppression of freedoms.
Not to say they couldn't just wack him and still let people think he was alive. That strategy proven effective too.
Not like they need to keep him alive. With the overall hostility being shown towards this guy by the media (and the Legislature) there's small chance of him attaining martyr status if they do. Which is why whistleblowers generally get pilloried with impunity despite the so-called "protections" that are on place to prevent it. And in this case, there's very little chance of much public support since this county seems to be doing everything in it's power to not see that a very real coup took place within the government shortly after the WTC attack - and they're now living in a police state. That's the elephant in the room nobody even wants to acknowledge, let alone deal with. (DC isn't the only place that has a Basement for topics some people consider threatening or inappropriate. ;) :P ;D)
And as time goes on, it will become increasingly difficult (or "legal") to do anything about it. Especially since no government - no matter how enlightened - has ever willingly relinquished additional power once they've been granted it. And ours is far from enlightened.
