Holder to Russia: Just so we’re clear, Snowden won’t face the death penalty or torture « Hot Air

Holder to Russia: Just so we’re clear, Snowden won’t face the death penalty or torture « Hot Air: "I mean, it certainly makes sense, I suppose, to technically get on the record and refute some of the bases for Snowden’s claims for asylum — no, the United States government has no intention of throwing him into the Pit of Despair, and yes, his case will promptly be brought before a civilian court complete with all of the usual lawful protections. …But I highly doubt that the Russian government has been holding back on extraditing Snowden because they’re primarily concerned about his personal wellbeing. Russia doesn’t tend to have a ton of qualms on the human-rights abuse front, you know?"
