Noam Chomsky on US Presence in Europe & Edward Snowden
"There are, I think, by now four Latin American countries that offer
Asylum to Snowden, not one European country – in fact they won’t even
let him cross their borders. Why? Because the master in Washington tells
them “we don’t want him to”. And Snowden, it’s important to recall,
performed an enormous service, a patriotic service in fact, to the
people of the United States and the world. He revealed to the
population, what your government is doing to you. That’s just what he
should have done. That’s the responsibility of a decent citizen. The
idea that you should be punished for this is really grotesque, and that
Europe participates in it is even worse. Same is true for Assange."
