I, spy: Edward #Snowden in
exile -
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/18/-sp-edward-snowden-interview-rusbridger-macaskill long,
interesting interview with @guardian; highlights to follow...
#Snowden on
Bolivian president's plane forced down: “I was like, first off,
wow, their intelligence sucks, from listening to everything."
#Snowden:
"substantial savings from his career as a well-compensated
contractor, [and] he has received numerous awards and speaking fees"
#Snowden:
"securing foundation funding for a new press freedom initiative,
creating tools that allow journalists to communicate securely."
#Snowden:
"exasperated to be marked down as conservative libertarian (he
is, more moderate than has been reported), declines to be specific"
#Snowden:
"He didn’t take a single document to Russia. He has no access
to them there. He never initially sought to be in Russia."
#Snowden:
"If we’ve basically talked the terrorists out of using our
modern communications networks, we have benefited in terms of
security"
#Snowden:
"I can tell you that in the wake of the last year, there are
still terrorists getting hauled up, communications being
intercepted"
#Snowden:
"I would argue that simply using the term ‘haystack’ is
misleading. This is a haystack of human lives"
#Snowden:
"What you care about is the metadata, because metadata does not
lie. You can’t trust what you’re hearing, you can trust
metadata"
#Snowden:
"alarmed by implications of the NSA & GCHQ documents, showed
their engineers hard at work undermining basic security of the Net"
#Snowden:
"when you build a back door into a communication system, that
back door can be discovered by anyone around the world"
#Snowden:
"no politician wants to defy intelligence chiefs who warn of the
potential consequences of being seen to be “weak”."
