USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden

Posted by samzenpus on Monday June 10, 2013 @12:55AM from the we-want-a-word-with-you dept.

Taco Cowboy writes "Edward Snowden, the leaker who gave us the evidence of US government spying on its people is under threat of being extradited back to the U.S. to face prosecution. Some people in Congress, including Republican Peter King (R-NY), are calling for his extradition from Hong Kong to face trial. From the article: 'A spokesman for the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, said Snowden's case had been referred to the justice department and US intelligence was assessing the damage caused by the disclosures. "Any person who has a security clearance knows that he or she has an obligation to protect classified information and abide by the law," the spokesman, Shawn Turner, said.'"

Near me we had an old lady crash into a restaurant. She killed two diners and one waitress. This left the child at that table an orphan. She somehow confused the gas and brake. I cannot fathom how that can happen. If you or I did that we would be living in an 8x8 for decades, she is voluntarily giving up her license and that is the end of it.
