Obama Says ‘Significant Vulnerability’ At NSA

June 27, 2013
By VOA

U.S. President Barack Obama says the disclosure of the government’s clandestine surveillance programs by a former intelligence contractor shows there is a “pretty significant vulnerability” at the secretive National Security Agency ...

Obama said he had not called either Chinese President Xi Jinping or Russian President Vladimir Putin to request Snowden’s extradition. The president said he “should not have to” and the extradition request should be dealt with through “regular legal channels.”

“This is something that routinely is dealt with between law enforcement officials in various countries,” said the president ...

“No, I am not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker,” said Obama.
