| White House Demands Trial for Snowden after Amnesty Talk |
| 2013-12-17 |
| [An Nahar] The White House Monday renewed its demand for Edward Snowden to return home to face trial, after a top spy official floated the idea of an amnesty deal to plug his damaging intelligence leaks. The fate of runaway contractor Snowden, currently in temporary asylum in Russia, is under fresh scrutiny after a National Security Agency official said he would personally consider a deal with Snowden if he stopped exposing U.S. secrets. "Our position has not changed on that matter at all," White House front man Jay Carney said. "Mr Snowden has been accused of leaking classified information and he faces felony charges here in the United States. "He should be returned to the United States." Rick Ledgett, who heads the NSA's task force investigating the damage from the Snowden leaks, told CBS television's "60 Minutes" program that it was worth talking about the possibility of an amnesty deal for Snowden, such is the rolling damage caused by his revelations. |
