Napolitano Says No Clemency for Edward Snowden

The former head of the Department of Homeland Security said Edward Snowden doesn’t deserve clemency for exposing the broad reach of U.S. surveillance programs.

Janet Napolitano, who left the post in August to become president of the University of California system, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Snowden’s leaks had hurt the U.S. She rejected calls made in editorials by the New York Times and London’s Guardian newspapers that Snowden, now living under temporary asylum in Russia, be granted clemency.
