Snowden Discusses Spying, Obama, And Missouri Grandmothers In Online Chat -- Washington post
In a live-chat hosted by “Free Snowden,” a group that seeks to provide information about the case of the former defense contractor who released millions of National Security Agency documents to journalists, Edward Snowden spent over an hour answering questions about Obama’s recent actions regarding privacy and surveillance.
This is the second time Snowden -- who was charged with theft of government property and espionage by federal prosecutors in June -- has held court with the Internet, with the first happening in June 2013 soon after the first leaked documents were published. The questions answered were chosen from a lengthy list of tweets featuring the hashtag #AskSnowden, and the selection seems to show that Snowden saw the chat foremost as a way to comment on Obama’s policies and clear up misconceptions about how this whole saga unfolded.
Snowden said he thought that the timing of Obama's NSA speech -- delivered last Friday on the anniversary of Dwight Eisenhower’s “military-industrial complex” speech -- was “particularly interesting,” given that the president did not receive recommendations from the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board until nearly a week afterward. Kara Brandeisky at ProPublica has an in-depth list chronicling the claims made by the White House that Snowden disputed in his replies Thursday.
