A copy of the request sent to Venezuela to extradite the NSA whistleblower to the US should he arrive in the South American country.

And if Snowden somehow makes it to Venezuela he'll find a U.S. extradition warrant awaiting him. The Guardian posted the entire document online - see link.

The Embassy of the United States of America presents its compliments to the Ministry of Popular Power for External Relations of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and has the honor to request the provisional arrest for the purpose of extradition of United States citizen Edward J. SNOWDEN, pursuant to the Treaty and Additional Article between the United States of America and the United States of Venezuela, signed on January 19 and 21, 1922 (the "Extradition Treaty&quot .
The United States seeks SNOWDEN's provisional arrest should SNOWDEN seek to travel to or transit through Venezuela. SNOWDEN is a flight risk because of the substantial charges he is facing and his current and active attempts to remain a fugitive. The United States urges that SNOWDEN be kept in custody, if arrested.
