Sort på hvidt: USA bad Danmark om at stoppe Snowden
Det amerikanske justitsministerium og forbundspoliti bad udtrykkeligt dansk politi om hjælp til at stoppe whistleblower Edward Snowden i sommeren 2013. Det skriver et svensk medie, der fremlægger brevet.

The US government has halted its controversial program to collect vast troves of information from Americans' phone calls, a move prompted by the revelations of former intelligence analyst Edward Snowden. Privacy advocates and some tech firms are welcoming the end of the bulk gathering of so-called "metadata, " but some security hawks fear law enforcement will be hampered in their efforts to thwart terror attacks. As of November 29, 2015, the National Security Agency (NSA) ended the program whose existence its former analyst Snowden revealed in 2013. US lawmakers earlier this year passed legislation known as the USA Freedom Act to stop the program and roll back some powers the NSA had gained under the Patriot Act in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
