Edward Snowden NSA - Guardian Reveals Identity Of Whistleblower Behind NSA Revelations

The Guardian published the identity of the whistleblower responsible for providing the paper with top-secret documents that revealed the National Security Agency's secret surveillance programs on Sunday. The paper wrote that it was revealing Edward Snowden's identity at his own request.

The Guardian, after several days of interviews, is revealing his identity at his request. From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. 'I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong,' he said.

The Guardian compared Snowden, a former CIA technical assistant and current employee of Booz Allen Hamilton, to Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning. "Snowden will go down in history as one of America's most consequential whistleblowers, alongside Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning. He is responsible for handing over material from one of the world's most secretive organisations – the NSA," Glenn Greenwald, Ewen MacAskill and Laura Poitras wrote.

Earlier on Sunday, Greenwald, who broke the bombshell story about the government's vast surveillance programs involving data collection from millions of Verizon customers, appeared on Sunday talk shows where he said the public should expect more revelations to come. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/09/edward-snowden-nsa-leak-guardian-whistleblower-nsa-revelations_n_3412245.html
