Jane Mayer of The New Yorker has the first extended interview Ive seen with whistleblower Edward Snowden, done by video link between NYC and Moscow. Whatever you think of Snowdens actions, he shows hes a very bright, serious, purposeful individual. He discusses the precautions he and journalists took to protect certain intelligence sources; how he became stranded in Moscow en route to Latin America; and says that hed stand trial in the US, but that the government wont guarantee him an open court proceeding. (68 minutes) This previews the new documentary about his case, Citizenfour. https://youtube/watch?v=fidq3jow8bc
