Edward Snowden's Asylum About to Expire
Waiting for news of possible extension
Fugitive US whistleblower Edward Snowden's year-long leave to stay in Russia has expired without confirmation that it will be extended.
His lawyer said he could stay in the country while his application for an extension was being processed.
The man who exposed US intelligence practices to the world's media won leave to remain in Moscow a year ago.
Little is known about his activities in Russia - where he is living and whether he is working.

It won't be long before the Russians no longer have a use for him. Him and "Chelsea" will make great cell-mates.
Look at the Statist Prick on this one... I see your back for more player.
That was not for you my saurian friend.
Has anyone ever had a use for you, bootlicker?
Hahaha...you guys are so predictable...
Who are you talking to? The author? If that's the case. Your grammar is bad, & you should feel bad.
