Edward Snowden meets with Americans

NSA leaker Edward Snowden had some special visitors this week in Moscow. Reportedly, the first Americans to meet with the whistleblower. Jesselyn Radack with the Government Accountability Project, Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst, Coleen Rowley, former FBI Agent former NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake met with Snowden in an undisclosed location to present him with the Sam Adams Award for Integrity and Intelligence.

No, the award is not from the beer company. It’s named after Samuel A. Adams, a CIA whistleblower during the Vietnam War. We post the photo here complete with watermark out of respect for Sunshine Press and Getty Images. Probably the most wanted scoop in all of journalism!

On a related note, Edward Snowden’s father, Lonnie Snowden, arrived in Russia yesterday in hopes of reuniting with his son.
