Edward Snowden: Mission accomplished by leaking NSA surveillance programs

In a recent interview, Edward Snowden – who leaked details of NSA electronic surveillance programs – says he’s achieved his aim.

“In terms of personal satisfaction, the mission’s already accomplished,” he told the Washington Post.

“I already won,” said 30-year-old Edward Snowden, whose extensive leaks have caused a reassessment of US surveillance policy.

Edward Snowden was interviewed in Russia, where he was granted temporary asylum on August 1st.

The former NSA contractor fled the US in late May, taking a huge cache of secret documents with him. He faces espionage charges in the US.

“As soon as the journalists were able to work, everything that I had been trying to do was validated. Because, remember, I didn’t want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself,” Edward Snowden told the newspaper.

“All I wanted was for the public to be able to have a say in how they are governed,” he said.

The NSA, accustomed to watching without being watched, faces scrutiny it has not endured since the 1970s, or perhaps ever, the Washington Post reports.

Edward Snowden told the newspaper he had no way of knowing whether the public would share his views.

“You recognize that you’re going in blind… But when you weigh that against the alternative, which is not to act, you realize that some analysis is better than no analysis.”
