Edward Snowden talks to the South China Morning Post


NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has given an interview to the South China Morning Post, which the paper is dribbling out in a series (1, 2) of articles. Thus far, we know:

* He intends to release more leaks

* He will fight extradition to the USA

* He affirms his belief in Hong Kong's commitment to free speech and the rule of law

On this last point: keen observers of Hong Kong's political situation disagree, among them Peter Bouckaert from Human Rights Watch, who says he believes that the HK authorities cooperate with the CIA on various programs.

More as it emerges.
