“Barack Obama addressed what he described as the public ‘ruckus’ over the leaked National Security Agency surveillance documents on Monday, indicating that the US authorities would pursue extradition from Hong Kong of the whistleblower Edward Snowden.  Obama did not offer any more details about the process in his PBS interview.  Instead, he addressed criticism that he has shifted a long way from the liberal positions he championed during his 2008 White House race.  Obama said: ‘My concern has always been not that we shouldn’t do intelligence gathering to prevent terrorism, but rather are we setting up a system of checks and balances.'”
