Obama Administration: Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden: After squatting in the transit area of a Moscow airport for more than five weeks, Snowden was granted a one-year asylum on Thursday, ratcheting up tensions between Russia and the U.S., which has charged him with espionage, according to The Star. Over the past eight weeks we have seen the Obama administration show no respect for international or domestic law, but in the end the law is winning, he said in a statement released by WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden has left diplomatic limbo land. But the freedom the fugitive American whistleblower is seeking may be difficult to find in his temporary home in Russia. He reportedly slipped away in a taxi to the home of some American expats, calling Russias offer a victory for the rule of law. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
