Greenwald: Snowden “Doing Very Well" in Russia After Sparking "Extraordinary Debate" on NSA, #Spying "Two months ago today, Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian newspaper published his first article revealing the existence of a secret court order for Verizon to hand over the telephone records of millions of Americans to the National Security Agency. Since then, The Guardian has published a trove of articles detailing the #NSA’s vast surveillance powers based on documents leaked by #whistleblower Edward Snowden. Last week, Snowden was granted temporary asylum for one year in Russia. We talk to Glenn Greenwald. "I have spoken to him and he’s doing very well. He’s obviously happy that his very strained situation of being in this kind of no-person’s land in the airport has been resolved,” Greenwald says. “He now is able to be safe, or at least relatively safe, for the next year from persecution by the United States. And he is most interested, whenever I talk to him, in talking not about his own situation but about the really extraordinary debate that he helped provoke both in the United States and around the world about privacy, surveillance, and Internet freedom." We also speak with Chilean economist Manfred Max-Neef about #Snowden." democracynow.org/2013/8/5/greenwald_snowden_doing_very_well_in
