There have been plenty of people over the years who have requested asylum from the US. It's not a new thing. Actually I'm not aware of any point in US history

Actually I'm not aware of any point in US history where an NSA employee could leak information to foreign journalists and not face charges.
- alexqgb 13y agoDepending on what was leaked, the Whistleblower Protection Act should allow him to do exactly that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower_Protection_Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower_Protection_Act Unfortunately for Snowden, the Act only covers federal employees, not the private subcontractors whose security clearances may expose them to criminal acts, but whose employment status leaves them unable to report them safely.
