Kerry to Snowden: "Man Up" and Return to Face U.S. Charges 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
Edward Snowden's temporary asylum in Russia is due to expire in August.
He faces up to 30 years in prison in the United States for multiple
charges under the Espionage Act. Speaking to CBS' "This Morning,"
Secretary of State John Kerry lashed out at Snowden's comments, telling
him to "man up" and return to face charges in the United States.

Secretary of State John Kerry: "The bottom line is this is a man has
betrayed his country, sitting in Russia, an authoritarian country, where
he has taken refuge. You know, he should man up and come back to the
United States if he has a complaint about what’s the matter with
American surveillance. Come back here and stand in our system of justice
and make his case.”
