1 Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former CIA employee, disclosed on Sunday
that he was the source behind The Guardian’s and Washington Post’s bombshell
stories on the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs. “I don’t want
to live in a world where there’s no privacy and therefore no room for intellectual
exploration and creativity,” he told The Guardian in the article revealing his
identity. Snowden was living in Hawaii with his girlfriend, but fled to Hong Kong.
Glenn Greenwald, The Guardian reporter behind the paper’s groundbreaking
articles, said Tuesday that there are more “significant revelations” to come
based on information Snowden has given him.
