Edward Snowden ran into bureaucratic snags in his bid for temporary political asylum and was unable to leave his airport refuge as he had hoped, his lawyer said Wednesday. "Unfortunately, the situation that has come about is not standard for Russia, (we are) facing some bureaucracy: the documents are still being considered. ... We will wait and hope that the issue will be resolved in next several days," RIA Novosti quoted Kucherena as saying. The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll found that 53 per cent of Americans favor bringing criminal charges against Snowden, up from a June poll that found a plurality of 48 per cent opposed to charging him with a crime. usatoday/story/news/world/2013/07/24/edward-snowden-russia-moscow-airport/2582189/
