Edward Snowden has left the Sheremetyevo airport after Russian authorities granted him temporary asylum for one year. Snowden thanked Russia for giving him asylum and criticized the Obama administration for showing “no respect” for the law. White House press secretary Jay Carney said the administration was “extremely disappointed” with the move. Snowden’s father, Lon Snowden, said that he would like to visit his son and is arranging the trip to Moscow. The 30-year-old is wanted on felony charges by the United States after leaking details of vast US surveillance programs.
