Obama: No bartering for Snowden
The United States won’t be scrambling military jets or engaging in high-level diplomatic bartering to get National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden extradited, President Barack Obama said today.
Dismissing him as “a 29-year-old hacker,” Mr Obama sought to downplay the international chase for Snowden, lowering the temperature of an issue that has already raised tensions between the US and uneasy partners Russia and China.
