Edward Snowden called a “terrorist” for disclosing the truth

Former NSA chief compares Snowden to terrorists http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/12/01/former-nsa-chief-compares-snowden-to-terrorists/ by  Washington  – Former National Security Agency director Michael Hayden said Sunday that Edward Snowden, who has disclosed secrets about how the NSA surveils both at home and abroad, has created a “catastrophic” situation for American intelligence agencies.

“This is catastrophic for the safetay and security of the American nation, what this very narcissitic young man has done,” Hayden told Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”Multiple reports allege Snowden has created a “doomsday cache” of government secrets that would release to the public should he be incarcerated or harmed.

Hayden said he has “no reason to doubt” those reports, but added that the looming threat of future disclosures should not dissaude American agencies from pursuing Snowden. The retired general said abandoning the effort to bring Snowden to justice would be like “negotiating with terrorists.”

Snowden has been in Moscow since June. In August, Russia granted him asylum for one year. He is wanted in the United States on espionage charges.
