Edward Snowden may now be far from Hong Kong, but the
South China Morning Post has just revealed more details from an interview he granted on June 12th while he was still there. According to the paper, Snowden
reportedly said that he took a job with NSA-contractor Booz Allen
Hamilton in order to gather additional evidence about the spy agency's
activities. "My position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to
lists of machines all over the world the NSA hacked,"
he said. "That is why I accepted that position about three months ago."
He reportedly further said "correct on Booz," when asked if he
specifically went to Booz Allen to gather evidence of surveillance. As
the paper notes, Snowden also said that he took pay cuts "in the course
of pursuing specific work" in an online Q&A with
The Guardian
last week, and he's also indicated that he has more information he
intends to leak, saying that he'd like to "make it available to
journalists in each country to make their own assessment."
