Keeping a mostly low-profile as a US fugitive1 in Moscow, former National Security Agency contractor2 Edward Snowden has suddenly resurfaced in the media, saying he is confident his personal "mission is already accomplished3" and he has "already won" after leaking NSA secrets. The challenge now, he believes, is to stress the importance of privacy and urge an end to mass government surveillance.
一向行事低调的美国逃犯、美国国家安全局承包商前雇员爱德华·斯诺登突然又出现在了媒体面前。泄漏美国国家安全局的机密之后,斯诺登相信自己的“使命已经完成、已经赢了。”他相信,目前的挑战是,增强公众的个人隐私意识,大家携手终结政府监控。
Snowden gave a more than 14-hour interview to The Washington Post, which says it's the first he has conducted in person since arriving in the Russian capital in June. He follows that up by speaking directly to the British public in a televised message that will be broadcast Wednesday as an alternative to the queen's annual Christmas speech.
Snowden told the Post he was satisfied because journalists have been able to tell the story of the US government's collection of bulk Internet and phone records, an activity that has grown dramatically in the decade since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
"For me, in terms of personal satisfaction, the mission's already accomplished," he said in the interview, which was published online Monday night. "I already won."
"As soon as the journalists were able to work, everything that I had been trying to do was validated," Snowden told the Post. "Because, remember, I didn't want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself."
