(FULL TITLE: "'I'm neither a traitor nor a hero... I'm an American': NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden finally breaks cover - and vows to expose MORE secrets")

• Newspaper said he has exposed more details about surveillance targets
• He said he will remain in Hong Kong and fight any extradition bid
• Snowden's whereabouts in Hong Kong are still unknown
  

Edward Snowden, the former CIA analyst behind one of the most significant government leaks in U.S. history, has vowed to expose further surveillance secrets as he speaks out again.

The 29-year-old whistleblower remained defiant in an interview with the South China Morning Post on Wednesday and said he will stay in Hong Kong to fight any extradition bid from the U.S.

Snowden fled to Hong Kong from his home in Hawaii on May 20 after leaking sensitive documents about the National Security Agency's tracking programs.

His actions have been both praised and condemned globally, with some hailing him a hero while others, including House Speaker John Boehner, calling him a traitor.

Are you serious?

[informavoracious]

I hate when they say “more to come.” Why the delay? What if he’s offed before the next announcement?

->>but if people end up getting killed because of any further information he is going to release, then he is making his own bed.

He has been releasing policy information. If he hurts someone, that is naturally different. Could you image working for the NSA and then talking about overreaching abuses that you've seen. I would be very afraid to trust anyone for help( I would not work for them in a position to abuse others rights)

If he had taken this to the WaPo someone from the on-premises office of the White House Liaison would have had him arrested in about two minutes.

[wolfman23601]

No... I’m witholding judgement until the rest of the stuff comes out. To my knowledge, he hasn’t done anything treasonous...

Tut tut. Patience, my boy!

So much Obama Administration left to run. So many newspapers to sell.

[austinaero]

He would have to beat zer0, hillary, panetta and a whole host of others there first to tell the plan. Think I’m kidding?

Will you PLEASE read the comments below that Snowden story in the Hong Kong paper. There is another ‘spook’ who is trying to be heard.....and he claims Hillary has helped.

I don’t know if it’s true,,but it sure is intriguing.

[Hiddigeigei]

Do people remember Daniel Ellsberg?

[no-to-illegals]

spooks everywhere ... now which side do those spooks work for.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Sadly, I’m old enough to answer yes.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I think we entered the era of Spook Free-Agency around 1975

[Christie at the beach]

That’s the Telegraph. Carrying Obama’s water...maybe..Someone has to help in the damage control.

I just have to wait and go with the leaker.

I don’t trust the government with Obama.

[no-to-illegals]

Guess again! Was revitalized within the last dozen years under George Bush.

[schm0e]

Idunno. Has he leaked anything that threatens national security? The ability to capture digital data on the World Wide Web is not a secret.

But he has exposed the abuse of power.

So far I think it's a net positive.

Hello There! You are new around Here! Welcome Aboard!

[hoosiermama]

They’re gathering information on the rats that scurry for cover. Those who have nothing to hide are sitting back waiting and watching. Those in the wrong are trying to Alinsky him before the message is out and are trying to hide the evidence.
Patience!

"U.S. Media ... paid performers of the State ... Pravda anyone?"

News here is sponsored by the most influential political constituents, who at various times and in many practices have each announced their environmental, anti-family, anti-competition (being against so much as any moderately free business climate) and anti-American sentiments (global, anti-Second-Amendment, anti-Fourth-Amendment). They comprise the wealthiest demographic--a commonly known fact that's hard for most to swallow, even in light of policies implemented by both political parties. They're linguistic activists. They even defiled our language with terms in perpetual conflict with our natural world.

a commonly known fact that's hard for most to swallow

yes, few can see, fewer know the truth. It is as Churchill said ... Most Men and Women when stumbling across the truth, they quickly pick themselves up and scurry off as if nothing happened.
