Speaking to Fox News, Lon Snowden said he believed his son was a "man of principle". "I know you're your own man and you're going to do what you feel you have to do" he said in a statement addressed to his son

"Some people said as if I would be glad about the statement, because it concerns the government which is fighting against me, but I am not like the Georgian feudalists who were collaborating with enemies and were weakening our country for their person interests. We've built this country together. I am one of the creators of the new Georgian state. It is impossible not to worry when such a statement is made by Congress, because survival of my country is my instinct. Now they should have been adopting the resolution to give a weapon to Georgia - as Obama and Saakashvili had agreed - working on acceleration of Georgia's integration to NATO, but instead, they are saying Georgia has regressed in terms of democracy. I remember very well, when Richard Holbrooke told me - if Russia attacked any post-Soviet non-democratic countries, America would not even move a finger. In 2008, America spared no efforts as it was sympathized with Georgia. We had a democratic, lovely country. People who are fighting for freedom, should be respected, "- stated the president."
