1. "The
'Edward Snowden Aviation Club' and other ways to beat US persecution"
After
Snowden leaked strictly confidential US information to the general public, he
fled to seek asylum. A lot of people support his endeavors to do so and even
some countries are open for Snowden’s safe arrival. If Snowden is caught by the
U.S., he faces charges of espionage.
This
case is quite bewildering in the sense that we have to go against the first
amendment in thinking how limited information can be when it comes to
government. Usually, other countries are the ones that hunt certain people down
and prosecute them, but now it is the America’s who is personally hunting down
an American for leaking information. Although so many people and countries (more
than 1.5 million people) support Snowden’s actions, America is still on the
hunt
2. "Barack
Obama seeks to limit EU fallout over US spying claims"
Through
Snowden’s leaked information, there were claims that the US was spying on the
EU. Barack Obama tried to abate the allegation and tried to set in harmony. The
EU members are furious and are surprised to see how much information was
leaked.
In
this story, the US seems to be patching up the damage from the information
leaked by Snowden. Through the release of information, there seems to be a loss
of trust between the US and other countries. America is still looking for
Snowden to prevent him from releasing any more damaging information.
