WikiLeaks Blasts U.S. for Leaving Snowden "Stateless" as NSA Leaker Withdraws Asylum Bid in Russia
National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has reportedly abandoned his effort to permanently stay in Russia, but has submitted asylum requests to 20 other countries. His decision comes one day after President Vladimir Putin said Snowden could only seek asylum in Russia if he stopped leaking U.S. secrets. When Snowden arrived in Russia last week, it was initially believed he was on his way to Ecuador, but that prospect is now in doubt. For more, we're joined by Kristinn Hrafnsson, spokesperson for WikiLeaks, which is assisting Snowden in his attempt to seek political asylum. Hrafnsson is a longtime investigative reporter who was named Icelandic journalist of the year three times.

This is just sooooooooooooo SAD on sooooooooooo MANY levels! Mr. Snowden is in exile. Why is that, for leaking information that we ALL should have been aware of to begin with? Or is it that Putin is being BULLIED by a Pimp that goes by the name of Obama? Perhaps this is yet another SMOKE SCREEN to keep the American people OBLIVIOUS to what is actually going on! I thought that Putin was more of a man than he is showing himself to be at this point. Again, very SAD!!!
