American National Security Agency. Thus, for three Latin American countries -
Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia - an unprecedented move and pledged to provide
Snowden "collective shelter," despite the obvious displeasure of
Washington.

And move between them, which is very convenient in terms of the American pursuit, - the chairman of the Moscow Bar Association, "Nikolayev and Partners" Yuri Nikolaev.
And even legal tricks of Washington, such as cancellation of your passport Snowden, the impact on the willingness of Latin American trio shelter ex-CIA have not.
