NSA Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden: RIO DE JANEIRO - National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden wrote in a lengthy "open letter to the people of Brazil" that he's been inspired by the global debate ignited by his release of thousands of NSA documents and that the agency's culture of indiscriminate global espionage "is collapsing." , according to Winnipeg Free Press. He wrote that he'd be willing to help the South American nation investigate NSA spying on its soil, but could not fully participate in doing so without being granted political asylum, because the U.S. "government will continue to interfere with my ability to speak." David Miranda, the domestic partner of Brazil-based American journalist Glenn Greenwald, talks during an interview in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2013. Miranda has taken up the cause of persuading the Brazilian government to grant political asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. "Brazil is a big, strong country, I think one of the few nations in the world that could offer asylum to Edward Snowden," Miranda said.
