Edward J. Snowden, the
fugitive American security contractor granted temporary asylum by Russia, has
appealed to Washington to stop treating him like a traitor for revealing that
the United States has been eavesdropping on its
allies, a German politician who met with Mr. Snowden said on Friday.
Mr. Snowden made his
appeal in a letter that was carried to
Berlin by Hans-Christian Ströbele, a veteran member of the Green Party in the
German Parliament.
Mr. Snowden wrote.
“However, speaking the truth is not a crime. I am confident that with the
support of the international community, the government of the United States
will abandon this harmful behavior.”
