if you point out he was a defender of edward snowden, almost everybody will try to distinguish the two. if you don't look at how daniel ellsberg is talked about a 1971 and 1972, the court, the government, the media, by most americans, you would talk about him in the same terms as edward snowden. over time he was vindicated. i think history still appreciated the information he let us know about what the government was doing. all that died away and we realized he engaged in an incredibly heroic self-sacrifice he did not need to do for the public good, and i am convinced edward snowden already today

were you concerned about sources and getting too close to edward snowden? >> i certainly was concerned about boundaries between reporters and sources and would not do something that crossed the line. my role is to receive information, to vet it, to check the motivation, to check the accuracy, and not to do something else were i am not saying anything else happened in hong kong. by staying in new york where i live and work i have more time to go through the material and prepare stories for publication. >> bart gellman of the "washington post" and new three time pulitzer prize winner, thank you for sharing your views today. >> a big spat over another p price won by center for public integrity on coal miners denied black lung efforts and the word should have been recognized although the tv nets would are not eligible and the center says that work was limited and mainly geared to producing a television story of the version, abc said it was thrown under the bus and the center said they will not be bullied by abc. too bad it ended this this squabbling. >> sharyl

edward snowden appeared recently via skype at south by southwest, with a backdrop of the american constitution. is mr. snowden an american patriot, in your view? >> thank you for having me and for having this event, it's great to be here with my colleagues. let me take this in stages, so in terms of coming back, i mean it's been well documented that i've, across from the border that i've been sought for several years, for things like having my notebooks copied and computers confiscated. actually i'm not worried that i'd be arrested, i was worried that they would subpoena me or take my electronics, so i don't think it's trivial, and it's real. yes i will come back for sure and right now i made the choice to stay out of the country for source protection reasons. as much as journalists, the real topic, the urgency of what we need to do is talk about the resources it takes to bring information forward. in that context, we put our lives on the line to reveal illegal government spying perhaps or spying programs that were being done in secret, and that were collecting, that could have entire countrie

people like edward snowden have someplace to go. he whistleblower protection laws, including the enhancement act and the executive order that snowden could have used specifically exempts national security and intelligence whistleblowers. the people you would most want to hear from. those people are completely unprotected. >> edward snowden, to answer your question, is someone who i always hoped would come forward. i thought that he would stand on my shoulders. he would come out with a much larger set of documentation. i have some hope, because edward snowden did come forward, that there are others who may come forward as well. >> i am not a whistleblower, but i think they do not want to cheat their unborn. the courage that it takes to be a whistleblower, they are too humble to say that. my question is, can you explain if you see a correlation between activism -- hacktivists and whistleblowing? that you are all a product of the digital age. that is all edward snowden has known. there is a clear confluence between being hacktivists who

edward snowden, in my view, may have been very well intended. without question, there will be some very good things that come of the information that was released. and there was some criminal activity going on our government. i wasn't shocked by that. and there were things that were systematically criminal. and i don't think anyone in government was shocked by that. but i don't think it's responsible to do as snowden did. i don't approve of the way in which the wiki leaks was randomly blitzed. there are communiques between government and some governments, that are meant to mislead and they are taken literally. there are sensitive relationships that are going to save lives tomorrow that got decimated by that. you have to be very diligent. you have to believe it. and i think he believed it. i don't know. i think he believed it. but like anything else, it's where there is not the capacity and he certainly, bright as he did, did not have the individual capacity to have execute nooidz all that material and the nuances in ease case all that material a

i'm trying to remember, edward snowden before he fled was not a high level employee. his highest level of education was a high school degree. despite that, he had access to this top classified information. what does that tell you about the security of our intelligence services? >> as i said earlier, that is a very legitimate question about the relationship between governments and the contractors it uses to physically carry out some of the national security and the way in which they that their particular employees. you are right, this was not particularly detailed or element picked off the shelf by snowden. this was more like a shoplifter running along the shelf, scooping off as much as he could. however, he did seem to know enough to make sure that what he did pick would do maximum damage to the united states closest allies. not just the united kingdom, but countries like norway and sweden, where the diplomatic relationship would be compromised. so, while from what we know so far, and as we say there are tens of thousands of documents we have not yet seen, we know tha

>> edward snowden was carrying these documents with him. if he was wheeling them around to the guardian and the united kingdom, and they were being transferred -- let's just talk about some of the security. when glenn greenwald's partner, maranda, was arrested, not only was he carrying a memory stick with 56,000 u.k. secret files on it, in his pocket he carried a piece of paper with one of the codes for the encrypted files area that was the level of security by which they were doing this. not only did i think they had particularly ulterior motives, but it was more like james bond in the way that they were carrying it out, which would be comical if it were not so tragic and dangerous. i think we therefore have to assume that the places he chose to visit, china and russia, must have access to those particular documents, given that their own security was superior. one of the instance -- incidences from "the new york times," where greenwald travel to hong kong, they were walking up and down discussing the contents of these documents so freely t

nothing worked until edward snowden came along. i remember june 5, last year, the first document emerged. it was a court order to verizon or directing the company to turn over all records of its customers to the nsa. we know that is now not the content, but just a phone numbers and the call times and durations. it quickly became apparent that this was a program of vast scope in terms of collecting data of americans, many law-abiding, and it did stun americans. this was what wyden had been warning about. it was quickly followed by more disclosures and stores by bart and ashkan and others -- >> and nakashima. >> about how to break encryption and significantly its growing overseas collection and attempts to game communications. edward snowden and his leaks forced a degree of transparency from the government. after june, they declassified from my perspective, i saw that this date was happening -- that this was happening. edward snowden and his leaks forced a degree of transparency from the government. after june, they declassified the

i'm here to start the debate not advocate on behalf of edward snowden. are you limited by that in some ways? thank you. >> ok. you guys should pitch in any way you want to. i don't care what my sources' motive is. i care about knowing what their motive is. i want to find context. if i know someone is telling me something because they hate their boss and are trying to embarrass them, i want to get the truth of it. i want to talk to the boss and people who know why he hates the boss. he may have his hand in the cookie jar. i want to know what motive he or she has in terms of understanding the full context of the story. many great, important stories that you would think should have been published have come from scurrilous people with scurrilous motives. as far as whether withholding my own advocacy or point of view harms the journalism, where i don't have a view from nowhere, this is the idea that reporters in the traditional way do not try to referee the he said/she said. that is not what is happening when it comes to fact. we are trying to find out and sa

i think that's led a lot of people to criticize edward snowden today and decide that maybe this makes him look as if he's a tool of putin and a part of his propaganda. but i think honestly, it's gooed that snowden at least asked this question, you know? his critics a long time saying this edward snowden is not questioning anything that goes on in russia. i don't really think it's his responsibility to do that but at least he is now doing it and i don't think that they are ever going to be satisfied with anything that edward snowden does, [ inaudible ] with vladimir putin's answer yes said, no that this type of [ inaudible ] because [ inaudible ] who knows. but b, he said because the surveillance that they do do is in accordance with the law and they follow court orders or use court orders. that's the exact same thing that we heard from politicians here in the united states from our very own president, from the leaders of our intelligence community and we all found out that that wasn't true. so you know, if anyone is looking scentically now at what putin is saying that's thanks to edwa

the question, if you didn't hear it, was basically about the attempts to discredit edward snowden, and any response that our panelists might have to that. >> i would find it very -- highly incredible to see snowden spying for either the chinese or the russians. the way that this affair played out was that the united states government made it impossible for snowden to escape to anyplace that wasn't china or russia. if you were a conspiracy cyst -- conspiracist of a sort that would be a great way to tar him as a chinese or russian agent. you can play that game both ways. but the fact of the matter is that snowden engamed in a pattern activity which consisted of gathering a set of materials and then took the materials with him and handed them to a reporter. if i was the chinese or a russian agent, i would gather my material and give them to my controlling agent, who would send them back to moscow or to beijing to be exploited by russian or chinese intelligence, and my controlling agent would be telling me, don't run away, don't go public, don't give your documents to a reporter, stay ther

my question has to do with journalism in light of edward snowden. we have seen glenn greenwald and james rosen accused of conspiring with whistleblowers. congressional members have question for them to be put to trial. i was wondering what your thoughts were on investigative journalism. and, do you think that press freedoms are under attack by the obama administration? >> i would jump in on 9/11. here is where i do my moral calculus. despite my professional role, we are all responsible for our actions as human beings. my great fear is that we did not use the authorities available to us right now. i used the metaphor that, this is the box you want us to play in legally. articles raise issues about national debate. the nsa will say that they have two houses of congress, a president, a court that says it is good to go. until otherwise, they will play section 215 out to the edges. we are going to take the hops however many they take us. the background ethical argument for this is that, if we do not play with in this box and we fail and we have another c

remember, edward snowden before he fled was not a high level employee. his highest level of education was a high school degree. despite that, he had access to this top classified information. what does that tell you about the security of our intelligence services? >> as i said earlier, that is a very legitimate question about the relationship between governments and the contractors it uses to physically carry out some of the national security thathe way in which they their particular employees. you are right, this was not particularly detailed or specific comedy element picked off the shelf by snowden. this was more like a shoplifter running along the shelf, scooping off as much as he could. however, he did seem to know enough to make sure that what he did pick would do maximum damage to the united states closest allies. not just the united kingdom, but countries like norway and sweden, where the diplomatic relationship would be compromised. while from what we know so far, and as we say there are tens of thousands of documents we have not yet seen, we kn
