Iceland received informal approach over Snowden seeking asylum
news.yahoo.com

In a column in Icelandic daily Frettabladid, WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson wrote that a middleman had approached him on behalf of Snowden.

"On 12 June, I received a message from Edward Snowden where he asked me to notify the Icelandic government that he wanted to seek asylum in Iceland," Hrafnsson, who is also an investigative journalist in Iceland, told Reuters.

The Icelandic government, which has refused to say whether they would grant asylum to Snowden, confirmed it had received the message from Hrafnsson.

For the citizens to know what their government is doing, some brave soul, at great personal risk, has to tell us. That's the only way we find out, since governnmets (all of them, whether they call themselves democracies or communist) automatically label "top secret" anything they don't want us to know. Truth-tellers must expect to be treated as criminals. Total Information Awareness by government is countered by WikiLeaks, and the winner isn't clear yet.
