“US President Barack Obama said Thursday he would not ‘scramble jets’ to intercept any flights carrying fugitive leaker Edward Snowden and scoffed at spending political capital to win him back from Russia.  His comments came as Snowden remained in Russia, where he fled from Hong Kong, stuck in the transit zone of a Moscow airport, apparently unable to travel on to possible asylum in Ecuador after Washington cancelled his passport.  Obama, who has been embarrassed by the refusal of first China and then Russia to expel Snowden, insisted the real damage to the United States lay not in international humiliation, but in the exposure of key spying programs.”
