View from Poland: End the Hunt for Snowden

GAZETA WYBORCZA: “Europe should not be indifferent to Snowden’s fate,” writes Gazeta Wyborcza, stressing that Europeans should not allow the American whistleblower to be put in jail for a lifetime in the US just for disclosing activities he deemed illegal. According to the Warsaw daily, the problem should be solved by means of “tacit compromise” between Europeans and Americans –

They could find a Saint Helena for him where [Snowden] could live in peace. Meanwhile America, which has been less interested in Europe over the last couple of years, should start rebuilding the tarnished relations with the Old Continent. We have to remember that we are condemned to forever be with each other. America and Europe have common problems with terrorists and the Chinese throwing their weight around. It would be a true catastrophe if we forgot about this just because of the Snowden affair.
