US Lawmakers Want Sanctions On Any Country Taking In Snowden
An anonymous reader points out this story about the latest effort by the U.S. to get Edward Snowden back in the country. "A U.S. Senate panel voted unanimously on Thursday to seek trade or other sanctions against Russia or any other country that offers asylum to former spy agency contractor Edward Snowden, who has been holed up for weeks at a Moscow airport.
The 30-member Senate Appropriations Committee adopted by consensus an amendment to a spending bill that would direct Secretary of State John Kerry to meet with congressional committees to come up with sanctions against any country that takes Snowden in."
Maybe Snowden should go to China. Now, if the US places sanctions on China, that would be funny.
Rumour has it that Snowden has requested asylum with the one place that the US government can take no punitive actions against whatsoever. A Place the US has no power or authority over...

Welcome to the United States!
Momentarily, the need for the construction of new light will no longer exist.
Maybe Snowden should go to China. Now, if the US places sanctions on China, that would be funny.
The sanctions law will probably be so hastily/poorly written that if Snowden ever returns to the US, the US will have to sanction itself :-)

It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Maybe he should sneak into the US. Then they'd have to sanction themselves, which would be the ultimate troll.
