Ο Edward Snowden, the man who exposed the actions of the National Security Service (NSA) in an interview given to the newspaper The Washington Post on Monday, he seems to be steadfast in his personal beliefs, reaffirming once again that his revelations were for the common good.
"For me, from a personal point of view, my mission is already complete," Snowden said. "I have already won. As soon as the reporters were able to publish the files, everything I had tried to do was validated. I did not want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to decide if it should change. "
Snowden, who has been living in Russia since being granted temporary asylum on August 1, was speaking with Washington Post για περισσότερες από 14 ώρες. Πριν από τη διαρροή των πληροφοριών στον Τύπο, όπως ανέφερε, ανησυχούσε για τις δραστηριότητες της NSA, όπως τις παρατηρούσε από μια περιφερειακή base in Hawaii. Snowden also said he discussed his misgivings with his agency, giving colleagues what he called "a test cover."
"I asked these people, 'What do you think the audience will do if they see all this on the front page?' Snowden told the Washington Post.
An NSA spokesman denied that Snowden had made the "test front page" of the agency, and told the Washington Post, "After extensive investigation, we have not found any evidence to support Mr Snowden's claim that he discussed these issues." ”
Author Note: Maybe Mr. Snowden, be satisfied and already feel a winner, but public opinion continues to be preoccupied with questions.
Why are not all files published? Apart from the security of Mr. Snowden who may wish to keep a hidden ace up his sleeve, are there other purposes?
Why not all the 37 pages that describe the program are published PRISM; Why can't we know? The Washington Post published four of them presenting some very interesting ones information. The issue has since ceased to exist.
