NSA Leaker Comes Forward: ‘I Know I Have Done Nothing Wrong’

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.”

Let me clean your post up for you.

You posted:
He was working for our nation’s intelligence services the totalitarian state. He leaked classified information. He’s a traitor, even if he thought PATRIOT that he had good motives. My country, right or wrong. Let her always be right, but my country regardless.has sadly strayed from liberty and freedom based on the US Constitution to a Totalitarian state that is against everything our Forefathers stood for.

Much better now. How does it feel to have your own words rewritten from someone else's perspective? Get used to it with your submissive, wimpy, naive attitude. They should have you locked away in no time.

The course of history may not have changed, but 40 - 50 people are happier

And if each of them affects 40 -50, and each of them affects 40 -50 -- pretty soon we're talking real ripples in the pond...

Best FReegards to you as well!

I didn’t like the patriot act. Many Freepers didn’t like it. With Bush, I believe it was to be used for emails, phone calls, etc to foreign destinations, foreign. We knew that when the jackasses got back in power it would be abused, expanded and turned against the US public for political reasons. It’s Congress that liked the patriot act. They should never have passed it.

ROTFLMAO !

Now you have a list of words to copy and paste into your email signature.

The US government is no longer the credible “good guy”. Hasn’t been for a loooooooong time.

Time for the cattle to wake up. Oh yeah, they think of you as cattle and they think/know they’re marching you along to the slaughterhouse. Only they call it “the happy fun house of safety and security and puppies”. Most of the cattle believe them.

The proof will be in the pudding.

If his actions succeeded in pissing off the Bilderbergers and all that other One-World, No-Borders global elite above the clouds whom Obama and his whole crew is tied in with, then it will be a good thing. And the man will be a hero.

If worldwide liberalism and communism, not to mention jihadism, is OTOH taking to supporting this action, that might require a re-think about him.

For the time being based on gut-level, this young man does seem to be more in the "disgruntled former Obama-ite who saw the light and turned anti-Big Gov/pro-Civil Libertarian" category and who could very shortly be a poor excuse for crab meat at the bottom of Hong Kong Bay off Kowloon in a very short time, considering our assets. No wonder he is in hiding.

and to act (or NOT) accordingly.

Roosterredux and I were talking on another thread about POSHITUS unsealing Ryan’s divorce records and we think he won’t use this collected data against his enemies?

[montag813]

Start over. The $1 trillion+ we spent to spy on every phone call and email has utterly failed, while they ignored or cleared radical Muslims like Nidal Hasan and the Tsarnaevs - despite clear warnings, and we have imported hundreds of thousands of new Muslims from terror-sponsoring nations. The battle is against Islam. Just say it, and act accordingly.
