President Barack Obama says he won’t engage in wheeling, dealing and trading to get NSA leaker Edward Snowden extradited to the U.S.
Obama says he also won’t be scrambling military jets to go after a 29-year-old hacker, rejecting suggestions the U.S. might send the Air Force to force down a plane carrying Snowden from Russia to another country. Snowden turned 30 last week.
Obama says he hasn’t personally called the leaders of Russia or of China. He says he shouldn’t have to. He says expelling a criminal is something that should be dealt with through routine legal channels.
Obama says the fact Snowden obtained the secret documents shows significant vulnerabilities at the National Security Agency. He says the damage that’s been done is that NSA surveillance programs have been exposed.

This, from the community organizer and junior senator of Illinois who promised the most transparent administration in history. He also carried the Jewish vote. Thanks, New York Jews!
Jews generally dont break laws, why do they care if the government is spying on them?
