Edward Snowden's Father Writes Open Letter Praising Son
Can't contact his son directly
The father of NSA leaker Edward Snowden, frustrated by his inability to reach out directly to his son, has written an open letter to him extolling him for "summoning the American people to confront the growing danger of tyranny."
The letter was written jointly Tuesday by Lonnie Snowden and his lawyer, Bruce Fein.

Interesting that Snowden's father has apparently retained Ron Paul's chief legal counsel. Hopefully Fein is doing it pro-bono.
