Susan Rice: Snowden Doesn't Deserve Amnesty
Says the NSA whistle-blower "should have his day in court"
National Security Adviser Susan Rice dismissed any possibility that former NSA contractor Edward Snowden would be granted amnesty, saying he doesn't "deserve" it.
"We don't think that Snowden deserves amnesty. We believe he should come back, he should be sent back, and he should have his day in court," Rice said in an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday.
