Mr Snowden suggested he might seek asylum in Iceland, though the nation also has an extradition treaty with the US. On Sunday the Icelandic MP Birgitta Jonsdottir said she had begun work on an asylum application on Mr Snowden’ s behalf, aided by Smari McCarthy of the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative.“ We feel it is our duty to offer to assist Mr Snowden,” they said in a statement.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has started a fund to cover Snowden’ s potential legal costs.
