The Senate Appropriations Committee has voted to sanction any country that aids National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. The 30-member panel passed the measure by unanimous consent. It calls on the State Department to work with Congress to level sanctions against any government that helps Snowden evade U.S. extradition. Snowden remains holed up at an airport in Russia, where he has reportedly been granted temporary asylum.
