There is many more reasons to get along with Russia and get along well; than wrongfully chasing a low level employee from Carlyle. Mr. Snowden is not the problem.
Russia and the U.S. (click here) have no extradition treaty that would require Russia to hand Snowden over to U.S. authorities, but U.S. officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry, have warned that any assistance given to Snowden by the Russian side would be severely damaging to Russia-U.S. Relations.
Nevertheless, Putin said Tuesday that Russia had no intention of giving Snowden up, that the fugitive had never received any sort of assistance from Russian security services and that he was "a free man, the sooner he picks a final destination, the better it is both for us and for him," Kommersant reported....
Carlyle and many other PRIVATE CONTRACTORS have really lousy policies about protecting this country. That is where the focus belongs, not on Snowden. Carlyle's policies need to be scrutinized and held responsible for this 'yet again' breach in national security episode.
Russia doesn't extradite. We have been down this road before. There is a lot of important work to do on Syria and Non-proliferation. This stupidity exhibited over the NSA leaking is hideous and a waste of time.
The NSA problem is not one that now belongs to the Executive Branch. The Legislative Branch needs to exert better oversight and within that is failure to protect the USA.
Now, Congress needs to hold hearings with all USA Contractors, especially those that deal with Wall Street equities, investment banking and securities. This is not Russia's problem.
It seems a little to obvious Congress is not doing a good job when it comes to policing the companies that call themselves Private Contractors. We have witnessed enormous abuse of the generosity of the USA government during the Iraq war. Basically, I see this as a continuance of those very loose and irreverent policies.
I fully expect hearings starring at the top of the list the Officers of Carlyle.
Congress needs to get on with it!
