I don't follow. Why would an EU country punish a US citizen for reporting espionage/sabotage directed against the EU country? Or do you mean something else?

They would need guaranteed non-extradition and possibly a lot of protection so they don't get abducted by the US, but that sort of legislation would never sail under the current German government.

Maybe my wording is bad; the EU should offer protection to US citizens who expose crimes committed by the US government in the EU. And preferably committed elsewhere in the world, since it's in the world's best interest to know.

It's only possible to extradite people if they did something that's a crime in both countries.

So Snowden could seek asylum in the EU, since he exposed espionage that was targeting the EU (and others)?
I have to say that I've lost yet another bit of respect for the German government (and those that followed) when they did not offer asylum to Snowden.
