White House ‘Extremely Disappointed’ With Russia Over Snowden Asylum
10 replies, posted
[QUOTE]The White House is “extremely disappointed” that Russia decided to grant asylum to NSA leaker Edward Snowden, Press Secretary Jay Carney said today.
“We are extremely disappointed that the Russian government would take this step despite our very clear and lawful requests in public and in private to have Mr. Snowden expelled to the United States to face the charges against him,” he told reporters at the daily briefing.
“Mr. Snowden is not a whistle-blower. He is accused of leaking classified information and has been charged with three felony counts. And he should be returned to the United States as soon as possible, where he will be accorded full due process and protections,” he said.
The White House is now re-evaluating whether President Obama will attend a planned bilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow next month.
“I don’t have a scheduling announcement for you today, but obviously this is not a positive development. And we have a wide range of interests with the Russians, and we are evaluating the utility of a summit,” Carney said.
Carney declined to speculate on Russia’s motives, saying “I think Russian officials can speak for themselves.”[/QUOTE]

"I'm not angry at you, I'm just disappointed"
I'd say the public are "extremely disappointed" by the US Government spying on them, but if they don't have any rights or say in the matter, the Government or the White House can't be surprised that people take the side of the one man who uncovered and exposed this
Oh wow they're 'extremely disappointed'. Now that Russia knows this, they will give Snowden back so the US won't be 'extremely disappointed' anymore.
I'm "extremely disappointed" that they feel that indirectly scolding Russia with "extremely disappointed" is extremely effective.
It's not.

Heh, but then again what else can they say?
This was expected, of course.
Looks like the US is upset on not being able to torture snowden.

No they won't. He's already given everything he obtained to third parties. Killing him would solve nothing.

He's already in Russia. He's been there over a month.
Keep up.
