Washington Post: Obama should negotiate with Snowden

President Obama said last week of Edward Snowden, an American fugitive hiding in Moscow, that he won't "be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker." That, even with Snowden continuing to leak government-spying secrets to foreign newspapers.

The Washington Post editorialized Tuesday that the best option to prevent more leakage would be for Obama to try negotiating with Snowden:

The best solution for both Mr. Snowden and the Obama administration would be his surrender to U.S. authorities, followed by a plea negotiation. It’s hard to believe that the results would leave the 30-year-old contractor worse off than living in permanent exile in an unfree country. Sadly, the supposed friends of this naive hacker are likely advising him otherwise.
