| President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia offered the first direct confirmation on Tuesday that Edward J. Snowden, the fugitive American national security contractor, was in a transit area at a Moscow airport, and he appeared to rule out American requests for his extradition to the United States. |
| Speaking at a news conference while on an official visit to Finland, Mr. Putin offered no new information on where Mr. Snowden might be headed from the international transit area of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport.

Putin Rules Out Extradition for Leak Suspect in Russia Airport
Putin Rules Out Extradition for Leak Suspect in Russia Airport
Though I regard Putin as a closeted homosexual who's afraid of being forced to disclose the abuse he was subjected to by the Russian Orthodox Priests, I do agree with him on this one.... extraditing E.J. Snowden to the USA would endanger the safety of E.J. Snowden, and would also make it impossible for the world to see and know about the secret ways and means the USA is practicing world hegemony.... at the price of everything!
