Senate Panel Votes to Target Countries Aiding Snowden 
------------------------------------------------------


 
The Senate Appropriations Committee has voted to sanction any country
that aids National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. The
30-member panel passed the measure by unanimous consent. It calls on the
State Department to work with Congress to level sanctions against any
government that helps Snowden evade U.S. extradition. Snowden remains
holed up at an airport in Russia, where he has reportedly been granted
temporary asylum.
