Snowden: My oath was to the Constitution

 

 

In his first face-to-face interview since Edward Snowden found asylum in Moscow, the National Security Agency leaker told the Washington Post his "mission is already accomplished," as news reporters are validating his revelations and NSA policies are being reassessed.
 

Snowden also told the Post's Barton Gellman — one of three reporters to whom he has leaked documents — that he has "no relationship with" nor "loyalties to" Russia or China.

"If I defected at all, I defected from the government to the public," Snowden said.

The oath of allegiance he signed was "not an oath of secrecy," Snowden said. It was "an oath to the Constitution. That is the oath that I kept."
