NSA Leaker Comes Forward: ‘I Know I Have Done Nothing Wrong’
The Blaze ^ | 6-9-2013 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 06/09/2013 12:16:55 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

A 29-year-old former CIA worker and current defense contractor employee has come forward as the source of the National Security Agency leaks to The Guardian newspaper:

The individual responsible for one of the most significant leaks in US political history is Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell.

The Guardian, after several days of interviews, is revealing his identity at his request. From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. “I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong,” he said.

Snowden will go down in history as one of America’s most consequential whistleblowers, alongside Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning. He is responsible for handing over material from one of the world’s most secretive organisations – the NSA.

In a note accompanying the first set of documents he provided, he wrote: “I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions,” but “I will be satisfied if the federation of secret law, unequal pardon and irresistible executive powers that rule the world that I love are revealed even for an instant.”

Read the full report in The Guardian.

I’ll make a deal with DC.

They stop importing islamderthals and secure our border and I’ll worry about the muslims already here.

Yup.

They already have the DNA of every child born in this country in the past 10 years. Permanently. Refusing to delete or destroy it.

Because. Or something.

“China will arrest him in Hong Kong, take him to China for some manufactured crime, he’ll end up dead, WH will shrug its shoulders.”

Obama met CHina’s president on Friday. Maybe they discussed that.

He needs a burqa. No one will bother him in a burqa.

Excuse any double pings. This is a live one.

Dead man walking.

The US has an extradition treaty with Hong Kong; he might as well as jump off the balcony or put a bullet through his head.

He’s done.

Not only that,do not forget DHS. They are freaking evil. They concentrate on Americans. They don’t give a crap about preventing islamic terrorism. They don’t offend terrorists, only us. When you link surveillance of we the people and aunt janet’s war on us it is really really scary.
Can anyone tell me I am a conspiracy theorist? Cause this feels downright Orwellian. I want a don’t tread on me tatoo on my forehead,well maybe not quite there.

talking about the inevitable outcome if nothing changes (thus why he came forward) "there will be nothing we can do to oppose it and it will be turn key tyranny."

This young man is a true patriot.

It’s actually win-win for China to protect him: the populace is satisfied that free speech is protected, with the added bonus of sticking to POSHITUS and his tacky gifts and wife.

My money is on this guy. He's far smarter than Obama and Obama's henchmen... and I guarantee that he's has plenty of dirt of a lot of important people. This is going to be the story of a lifetime... far more so than Watergate ever was.
