  • Edward Snowden's father has written an open letter to his son praising him for "summoning the American people to confront the growing danger of tyranny." Glenn Greenwald has said that more NSA revelations are coming soon.
  • A Tunisian rapper, who was jailed for insulting police, has been released.
  • France's outrage over NSA surveillance of French communications is being called hypocritical. After all, it's not as if the French don't indulge in their own snooping.
