Snowden's father says FBI asked him to visit his son
The father of US fugitive Edward Snowden has said the FBI asked him to travel to Moscow and see his son, but adds that he wants more details.
...
However, he wants to know the FBI's intentions, he told Russian state TV.
He said his son would not get a fair trial in America and, if he were in his son's place, he would stay in Russia
....
"Edward, I hope you are watching this," Lon Snowden said in the interview.
"Your family is well. We love you. We hope you are healthy, we hope you are well, I hope to see you soon, but most of all I want you to be safe. I want you to find a safe haven."
...
"I also would like to thank President Vladimir Putin and the Russian government for what I believe to be their courage and strength and conviction to keep my son safe," he said.
"Like any mother or father who loves their child, I love my son and I will be forever grateful for what you have done, very much."
