There will be more ‘significant information’ exposed in the near future, AP cites the journalist who revealed classified US surveillance programs leaked by an American defense contractor.
“We are going to have a lot more significant revelations that
have not yet been heard over the next several weeks and
months,” Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian told AP.
Greenwald added that the decision is the in works as to when the
next story will be published based on former CIA contractor
Edward Snowden’s leaked information.
Snowden, a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and
current employee of the defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton
revealed the existence of PRISM, the National Security Agency’s
(NSA) massive data mining surveillance program which gave the
agency backdoor access to emails, videos, chats, photos and
search queries from nine worldwide tech giants.
The Guardian interviewed Snowden, who never intended to remain in
the shadows.
“There are dozens of stories generated by the documents he
provided, and we intend to pursue every last one of them,”
Greenwald said.
Snowden was last seen checking out of his Hong Kong hotel on
Monday, Reuters quotes witnesses as saying.
So far no charges have been brought and no warrant issued for the
arrest of Snowden by authorities.
