we protected edward snowden and we won., with the exception of myself briefly, have been arrested or imprisoned. we fought off international unlawful and beating it in the court and european parliament. things are physically difficult for me, but more difficult for people like chelsea manning. i think that history is on our side. that's becoming quite clear to nearly everyone now. we have to wonder what is going to be the real legacy of the barack obama administration. it is not shaping up to be good while our legacy is, i think, something that myself and all our staff can be very proud of. >> julian, just on that last bit about your plans. what is it? 2014 now. the extradition request expires in 2022. do you plan to stay where you are? >> in relation to sweden, i have not been charged yet. that is an absurd case and you can read about it. the issue is the ongoing u.s. grand jury investigation, which is a serious thread. bradley manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison. it is not just against me. the threat is also somet

the question here is edward snowden. this is edward snowden.his is a picture of the "new york post" with edward snowden on the front cover. edward snowden is a traitor. edward snowden is a traitor and a coward. the fact is that edward snowden betrayed his trust. they gave him a special high clearance which he then violated. he hid the fact that he was doing these things and there are some allegations that he obtained this information through trickery. when the time came for him to flee, as a coward would, he told his superior that he was going to go to the mainland for some kind of medical treatment when interacting with the opposite way and went to hong kong where he then proceeded to expose this information if not the press, to the chinese. at later time he goes off to russia and want to make common cause with this stalinist thug who today is doing something right now that is not acceptable in the ukraine. the definition of treason is someone who makes common cause with our enemies, someone who gives aid and comfort to our enemies. and the fa

sh snowden is both a traitor and common criminal. sarah, you were in the room for snowden's press conference. how was he received in that room? >> he was very warmly received. in fact, the audience broke into applause as soon as his face appeared on the screen. at points during the conversation they broke into more applause and cheers, depending on what he was saying. everybody, i would say, was listening with attention, even though the video feed was a little bit jerky, the awudio wasn't quite synced. snowden tasked this tech industry with keeping their -- keeping the industry safe from mass surveillance. he said, quote, the nsa is setting fire to the future of the internet and then he called the people in the audience listening to his speech the firefighters. now, he said, encryption in the future is key and accountability from government agencies gathering information on citizens is important. they need to have that accountability there. he spoke to the audience for about an hour. it took about three months to secure his appearanc

i am not surprised that they would have something there on snowden. i have no use for snowden. as far as i am concerned he is a traitor. anyone that takes our things and take some abroad. i would be real worried about this with russia invading ukraine and all of the things that are going on. i have no use for edward snowden. i think he is a traitor and i think he should be in jail. i thank you. clarion, pennsylvania on the line for independents. what do you think? congress knows about it and i am letting you know about it or it i think it is wrong. i don't understand these people with this attitude that he has done something wrong. the daniel ellensburg of our time. if daniel ellsberg had not pointed out that that war was only for defense contractors to make that kind of money, we would not have known. about russia this , heing, over the weekend was asked whether russian president vladimir putin saw a weakness from president obama. let's take a look at what he had to say.

president obama has said that snowden had other avenues he could have actually pursued before he went to the option of leaking. he pointed to executive order 19, which he signed in 2012 which protects intelligence whist whistleblowers, that executive order does not cover government contractors which is what snowden was at the time of the leaks. snowden recently responded that he tried to report through legitimate channels ten separate times. and that the leak was a result of his not being afforded legitimate channels due to his status as a contractor. pulling back, 1.1 million u.s. government contractors have some kind of security clearance and

there is a premise in discussing snowden.one is that we should have an intelligence capacity and in order to have it operate company have to maintain confidentiality. leaking by consumers is one thing, but that is not what happened. most reporters say 95% of the leaking in any administration comes from the top, the white house, the national security council. it usually comes because of a disagreement on policies. they're trying to show the policy decisions made are wrong by leaking intelligence our show it was right by leaking intelligence. it tells our enemies what we're doing and sometimes how we got to that conclusion. it helps our enemies. it is not good. manning and snowden were not leakers. nor were they whistleblowers. whistleblowers expose illegal doing. nothing was deemed to be illegal. both exhibited a severe and serious resentment for the entire concept of the secret intelligence. they sought to expose it. all three branches of government have all determined that from what we have learned from snowden that no laws

how was edward snowden's action. what is it done for internet security since it was first made public. ? >> for years, if you sat down at a coffee shop and you are using the wi-fi connection to browse e-mail or log in social networking account your information is vulnerable. anyone who is sitting at the same coffee shop as you can actually hack into your account because these companies were not using the most asic forms of security. google started doing that by default in january 2010. is made other companies getting here take a long time. they finally decide to turn security on in january of this year. i was a result of a front-page story in the washington post revealing the nsa's partner, the british intelligence agency, was collecting more information about american customers than any others. yahoo! did a bad job of security on its customer information. with your thinking as a patriot or a traitor, there shouldn't be any debate. the products given to the products given to studies tech companies have become better

they have been alienated by the practices at the nsa revealed by snowden.obama's move was a move to bring back the poll numbers that were not inevitably low. it's easy to dismiss the white house and say it's all over for the second term, but clear laer, they're thinking about this and they realize this is a way to get back some of the supporters, particularly when you see similar reforms getting air time on capitol hill. lawmakers are moving to distraction and they're getting ready to mauve that way. >> to charles' point, we're one pendulum from the terrorist attacks swinging back the other way. >> i don't think there's any question. i thought we were out of school, but congratulations for a fine interview. to get that interview is a real coup, and hats off to you. they must be fox fans. >> team effort. >> that's great, and a lot of money? >> the cayman islands account came in handy. >> but on a serious note, what i took from this was, you know, today in the hague, you had the president saying he thinks the public will be satisfied with this compromise. you

snowden has done significant damage. and i quote from poles in a january survey where 57% of americans branded him as a quote whistle blower and 34% called him a trader. a fox news pole taken found 68% of americans were glad to know about the nsa program snowden revealed while cbs survey found those disapproving of the conduct out numbers 54-31. but there is a significant number of americans that blue him as a whistle blower and many significant portions of americans, as a patriot, approve of the conduct. what do you think we need to do to counter that impression the american people have when i am sure you and i are in agreement this individual violated an oath he made not to reveal this information and damaged our ability to defend this nation >> yes, sir, i would agree with your assessment. there is a couple things. the idea of transparency as senator udall mentioned. the idea we have we have to have a dialogue that talks about whau we are doing and why. we have ensure strict accountability and we have to make sure we

surveillance practices. >> absolutely, yes. >> snowden answered questions with an image of the u.s. constitution projected behind him. >> the constitution was violated on a massive scale. the interpretation had been changed. >> snowden hid his exact location, using a high-tech hookup that turned into shaky television. he accused the national security agency of creating an adversarial internet. >> the future of the internet and the people in this room now, you guys are all the firefighters. >> snowden's conference not only drew huge crowds here at the austin convention center, but more than 50,000 people logged on to watch him streaming live on the internet. >> i was on the fence about how i felt about him, but i have come out feeling like he felt like he was doing the right thing for the country and i kind of agree. >> snowden is charged with several felonies in the u.s. including espionage for leaking classified information about government spying and data collection to media outlets. omar, cbs news, austin, texas. >> snowden also said intelligence leads have been missed because of

snowden's conduct? >> i apologize, i don't know the answer to that. >> i understand but i guess i'm just trying to lay out, here's some things as we move forward that we look at. mr. snowden also remarked recently, the u.s. government has no idea what i have, and will not know what i have and they will find out as it goes on, in effect. not his exact words, but when we look at ukraine, one of the concerns that has to come up is, you know, how much of mr. putin's actions were based on knowledge that may have been given to him by mr. snowden. and how good a handle do we have at this point on mr. snowden has and what he does not have? >> we have an in depth analytic effort ongoing within the department to determine that and ask that question. i haven't been part to that review although i've seen some of the initial work which is highlighted with the data comics i've read came from. we have tried to identify exactly what the implications are of what he took. that operation is ongoing and will take some peri

the snowden effect has been very deep in germany. much deeper than anywhere else, really, in europe. you have to think, of course, about their history. not only the nazi past but the east german stazi. we're always listening into east german conversations. the germans are very sensitive. they also felt the u.s. was their best ally and really a friend. now they feel betrayed. they're kind of caught in the middle. they have a certain sense of distance from the u.s. they also have the strong economic stake with russia. at the same time, the german public and the german media are extremely critical of what's going on in russia and with putin in particular. so it's a very difficult time, i'd say, for them right now. but it's a very tough time for the u.s. to try to work with the germans given this snowden impact and the fact that they're still very disappointed in the obama administration. >> what are the germans doing right now? it seems neither germany or the u.s. want to take the lead on sanctions and possibly put their own companies a

. >> let me talk about everett snowden -- edward snowden. security and privacy. have to have been thinking about that. >> absolutely. i saw a picture of surrogate brain with edward snowden yesterday -- of surrogate brent -- sergy with edward snowden yesterday. privacy and security are important things. we think about in terms of both. you cannot have privacy without security. let me talk about security first because you asked about snowden, then i will say little about privacy. tremendouslys disappointing the government secretly did all of this and did not tell us. i don't think we can have a democracy if we are having to protect you and our users from the government for stuff we have never had a conversation about. we don't have to know what particular terrorist acts they are worried about protecting us from. but we do need to know what the parameters of it is, what kind of surveillance the government will do, and how, and why. we have not had that conversation. the government has done itself a tremendous disservice by doing all of that in secret. >> then there
