support for Edward Snowden


The campaign to persuade Barack Obama to allow the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden to return home to the US without facing prolonged prison time has received powerful new backing from some of the most experienced intelligence experts in the country.
Fifteen former staff members of the Church committee, the 1970s congressional investigation into illegal activity by the CIA and other intelligence agencies, have written jointly to Obama calling on him to end Snowden’s “untenable exile in Russia, which benefits nobody”.

    1. These days I rather prefer customising my precepts instead of being optimistic where democracy is concerned. Refrain from becoming a civil servant (hence dealing with state secrets).
