America 'Summons World' to Renewed Cold War (Diario
de Noticias , Portugal)
"By putting Russia on the same level as 'authoritarian countries'
helping Edward Snowden escape, the United States is summoning the world to the distant
days of the Cold War, without first clarifying whether or not the statements
from the ex-NSA analyst have any basis. If, without
any respect for the most elementary rights to privacy for citizens, the global 'Big
Brother' described by Snowden is an acceptable practice, it is America itself
that is put into question."

Article (Portuguese)
The
United States and Russia are involved in a diplomatic tussle because of Edward
Snowden, the National Security Agency (NSA) analyst who leaked the abusive surveillance
practices of the North American secret services.
It is
obvious that Snowden's presence at the Moscow airport is uncomfortable for the
Kremlin. One need only hear President Putin's statements stressing that
the sooner the old NSA analyst chooses his destination, the better. However, it is
just as evident that Moscow will do nothing to make life easier for the Obama
Administration, which intends to try the man, now considered a traitor, who
rocked credibility and trust in the American secret services.

By
putting Russia on the same level as “authoritarian countries” helping Edward
Snowden escape, the United States is summoning the world to the distant days of
the Cold War, without first clarifying whether or not the statements from the ex-NSA analyst have any basis. If, without any respect for the
most elementary rights to privacy for citizens, the global “Big Brother”
described by Snowden is an acceptable practice, it is America itself that is
put into question. Perhaps that explains the rush to apprehend the informer.
But it is this, too, that could plunge us into a diplomatic battle with
unpredictable consequences.
