Pour ceux qui doutaient encore, c’est maintenant clair.
In an interview published Friday, President Barack Obama told Der Spiegel and German public broadcaster ARD that he would not pardon Edward Snowden before leaving office in January. The former National Security Agency contractor remains in exile for exposing the illegal surveillance operations of the NSA and other U.S. spying agencies, which target countless millions of people in the U.S. and around the world.
Obama’s decision will leave Snowden in grave danger from the incoming administration of Donald Trump, who is putting together a far-right government committed to expanded spying, torture and militarism. Trump’s pick for new CIA director, Kansas Republican Congressman Michael Pompeo, called for Snowden’s execution in an interview with the C-SPAN public affairs network last February.
