MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has granted Russian citizenship to former U.S. security contractor Edward Snowden, according to a decree signed Monday by the Russian leader. Snowden is one of 75 foreign citizens listed by the decree as being granted Russian citizenship.

Does this protect him from extradition?

    I feel like the title was written this way to turn people even more against Snowden and other whistleblowers

    Definitely.

    Search for "Snowden" on Twitter and it's nearly 100% liberals wishing for his death. No joke.

      There was always a vocal segment of liberals that hated Snowden for fleeing to Russia. Now they have more people agreeing on them because Putin is villain of the week.
