EXCLUSIVE: Whistleblower Edward Snowden talks to South China Morning Post

http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1259335/exclusive-whistleblower-edward-snowden-talks-south-china-morning-post?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Today, he reveals:

more explosive details on US surveillance targets
his plans for the immediate future
the steps he claims the US has taken since he broke cover in Hong Kong
his fears for his family

The 29-year-old was working for defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton at the National Security Agency (NSA), the biggest spy surveillance organisation in the world, when he leaked information claiming the US was systematically seizing vast amounts of phone and web data. Snowden fled to Hong Kong after using Britain’s Guardian newspaper to expose the agency’s PRISM program which gives officials easy access to data held by nine of the world’s top internet companies, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Skype.

It's looks like they're holding off of publishing the whole story for now.

2. He should tread lightly in talking with China

He's walking a fine line between whistleblower and defector/spy.

3. Maybe he wants the tougher charge to avoid extradition/dealth penalty.

4. Hmmm....interesting.

edit to add --
Not hiding from justice! Okay.

5. I hope people come forward soon to admit they were NSA targets, and to get the lawsuits rolling.

7. South China Morning Post is a credible Hong Kong newspaper of long standing

They must now be the high bidder for his story.

There is speculation that Hong Kong was chosen, not because it protects against extradition, but because it is one of the major media hubs of Asia.

8. "no reason to doubt your system." Correct. 'cause there is no espionage & dirty dealing over there.
