Edward Snowden, in exile in Moscow after leaking U.S. National Security Agency documents, said Friday he intends to vote in the U.S. presidential election, but did not say which candidate he favours. Snowden thanked human rights groups for their campaign to seek a pardon for him from U.S. President Barack Obama. "But … I'm incredibly grateful and fortunate to be able to experience the support of the world's three leading human rights organizations." All of the committee members separately sent Obama a letter urging him not to pardon Snowden, who revealed the NSA's collection of millions' of Americans phone records. "One of them we would be is to pardon Snowden," he said.
