Daily News… SNOWDEN DEFENDS PARTICIPATION IN PUTIN PHONE-IN Fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden defended his decision to question President Vladimir Putin in a televised phone-in over the extent of Russia’s surveillance activities.Snowden, writing in Britain’s Guardian newspaper, said he was taken aback at criticism of his decision to take part in the show during which Putin greeted him, to laughs from the audience, as a fellow «former agent». Snowden asked Putin: «I’d like to ask you: does Russia intercept, store or analyse in any way the communications of millions of individuals?» Putin replied: «We have strict legal regulation of the use of special surveillance by special services, including tapping phone conversations, surveillance on the Internet and so on,» Putin said. «This is not done on a mass scale and indiscriminately in Russia,». Snowden, who appeared via video-link, said in the article that Putin «denied the first part of the question and dodged on the latter». The man behind the US National Security Agency leaks said he was surprised «that people who witnessed me risk my life to expose the surveillance practices of my own country could not believe that I might also criticise the surveillance policies of Russia, a country to which I have sworn no allegiance, without ulterior motive». Even some of Snowden’s supporters have criticised his involvement in the Putin phone-in. Snowden was granted asylum by Russia last August after rocking the US intelligence establishments. Snowden said he had anticipated some flak for appearing in the annual phone-in which he said was renowned for «softball» questions.«But to me, the rare opportunity to lift a taboo on discussion of state surveillance before an audience that primarily views state media outweighed that risk,» he wrote. «Moreover, I hoped that Putin’s answer -- whatever it was -- would provide opportunities for serious journalists and civil society to push the discussion further.»

NBA: LAKERS, KNICKS, CELTICS MISS PLAYOFFS, SEEK HELP For the first time in NBA history, the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and New York Knicks are all absent from the playoffs in the same season. While that will not break any hearts for the 16 clubs who begin their championship quests, it does leave three of the most iconic franchise in NBA history struggling in search of a new direction. «As a whole, the season was very disappointing for everybody,» Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni said. «It’s time to step away from it a little bit, reflect, get back together and get back to it.»
