FUGITIVE former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden slipped quietly out of Moscow's Sheremetyero airport on friday 02.08 after being granted a year's asylum in Russia, ending more than five weeks in limbo in the transit area.
Russia's decision to help the American and ignore U.S. requests to send him home to face trial for leaking details of government surveillance programs, is sure to anger Washington and increase doubts that a summit between presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin will go ahead in Moscow in September.
However, after 39 days of avoiding hordes of international reporters desperate for a glimpse of him, Ed Snowden (his new name) managed to give them the slip again, leaving the airport in a car.'over the past eight weeks we have seen the Obama administration show now respect for international or domestic law but in the end the law is winning', Ed Snowden.
How liberal is U.S???
