German Green Party Bundestag member Hans Christian Ströbele met Edward Snowden in Moscow yesterday.
As a result of the meeting it has been learned that Snowden is willing to come to Germany and be a witness at a parliamentary commission.
A political conundrum for the German Government. Germany has a bilateral agreement with the United States regarding the transfer of wanted people.
And if Snowden leaves Russia he automatically cancels his current asylum agreement with the Russian Federation.
Could he not do a conference call with the German Parliamentary Commission?
Doubtful.
