Good for Edward.

Berlin (AFP) - The US National Security Agency (NSA) sometimes uses data it collects for economic purposes, intelligence leaker Edward Snowden reveals in an extract of an interview with a German television chain to be broadcast Sunday.

"If there is information, for example on Siemens, which is in the national interest, but has nothing to do with national security, they will still use this information," said Snowden,

[...]

On its website, NDR said that Snowden assured he was no longer in possession of any confidential documents, as they had all been handed out to handpicked journalists. The former NSA contractor said he no longer wants to, or is able to, take part in any future revelations.

Other than the consequences of his revelations about NSA surveillance programs, Snowden will also address "his personal path" to leaking the information.

[...]

On Thursday, in a question-and-answer session on the "Free Snowden" website, Snowden ruled out returning to the United States, where he said there was no chance of a free trial.

Sigh of relief. The government broke it's own laws and would punish Snowden for pointing out that fact.

Would you come back for the death penalty? They are going to try to kill him anyway right where he is in Russia. He will never be safe until the people he exposed are brought to justice.

Smart move Ed.

What would have to change in order for him to be able to come back (without having to worry about facing a noose or firing squad)?

Does anyone here wonder what more secrets that Snowden might that has made the Republican party so nervous?

He has nothing.

Stay free Edward!

didnt he have a timebomb tactic where he would release an encrypted news release that was set to automatically decrypt after a certatin time? That way if he should happen to have a "heart attack" or tragic "car accident" his story would decrypt.

1) A liberty loving president offering him a full pardon

2) A radical shift in the infowar where w'eve convinced the vast majority of boobus Americanus that Snowden was actually right.

3) A liberty version of a witness protection program where we give him a completely new identity.

I sure hope he does.

Pretty much everything.

It is disappointing indeed, but Obama is not really in charge. If Obama went against the powers that be then he would end up like JKF.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Of course, if the United States offers something to Russia, they might extradite him here.

That's what worries me. I've been wondering if we'll see Snowden extradited shortly after some billion dollar "aid package" goes through.

 

[Warlord]

Russia will never give him up

Everything.

Ooops, beat me to it.
