let edward snowden come home to this hero's welcome.it would severely undermined that intimidating power. he would incentivize other people to do it. that's the reason they are desperate to get him and why they are furious he's being protected because he has created template for other people who want to come forward but don't want to spend the rest of their life in prison. that is very alarming to the u.s. government and very encouraging to me and a lot of other people.

or did it happen before snowden and it's only now coming to light? >> well, it's not clear exactly when this document was leaked. we do know that it was dated from august of 2013, which is after snowden fled the united states to avoid criminal charges. and yes, the u.s. did improve its computer security system because obviously snowden exposed a huge vulnerability. but problem is that there is still about three million people that have access to secret documents in the u.s. government. that's a lot of people who could easily get access to this stuff and leak it at any time, anderson. >> all right. evan, i appreciate the update that does it for us from jerusalem. we'll see you again in one hour at 11:00 p.m. eastern for another edition of "ac 360."

this is edward snowden. edward snowden is a traitor to the united states of america. i say to you now that edward snowden is a traitor. edward snowden was given the most confidential trust. he traded that security appearance. he had a job in which he had trust. when he made his information available and undermine the security of the united ace, he told his boss he was going back to california for a medical treatment, got on a plane and went to hong kong where we know he was under communist or his diction and ultimately ended up in russia where he has received an extended time of good treatment and asylum in russia. sooner or later, the russians are going to come to their senses and realize they are not going to be able to put the soviet union back together again. being part of the western community of nations is a benefit to the russian people. and when they do, one condition the united states should places the return of edward snowden for trial. as a traitor for this country -- to this country.

edward snowden indicated to me, the n.s.a. certainly has a problem, that things are still walking. he said that's a major problem to the u.s. since the n.s.a. has so much of american communications -- telephone calls, e-mails and so forth -- and if there is a second leaker, which apparently there is, and certainly the evidence indicates that, and maybe having been inspired by edward snowden, it's certainly a major problem for n.s.a., if they thought they had a problem with snowden, now they have a problem with someone else

what did the snowden documents show?remelymonstrate an close relationship between the nsa and u.s. intelligence agencies in general, and the israelis. it demonstrates our large amounts of cash, unaccounted for been transferred. any specific information the israelis use used to target people in lebanon or gaza or the means they have to assert occupation and control over the west bank comes in large part directly from the u.s. government and from the intelligence gathered by the nsa. it also shows the crucial information the u.s. government gathers about the palestinians and about people in gaza come from the jordan monarchy, the jordanian martin a key as well as the palestinian authority. interns, by some people in gaza for the benefit of the u.s. and israel. the reason why thought was important to do that reporting in the midst of the attack on gaza was because if you listen to american political discourse every time israel massacres the palestinians, the tone tends to be the sort of indifference and attachment like, oh,

insiders saw the rise of the surveillance state long before the world had even heard of edward snowden bill binney was an n.s.a. technical director from one thousand nine hundred sixty five to two thousand. in one and kirk wiebe was a senior analyst in the n.s.a. from one nine hundred seventy five to two thousand and one in the months after nine eleven the two men witnessed a complete transformation of the agency and were forced to retire due to their grave concerns over the direction of the n.s.a. both whistleblowers came on the show earlier this summer and abby first asked b. what happened to the mass data collection system called thin thread that he created which had built in protections for american citizens the fact part of the analysis part the part that allowed them to deal with massive amounts of data and index it was taken in to manage that was the way they they actually were able to to build surveillance on the entire world that that particular program was that powerful and that's why we put in those protections so that it would be impossible for them to abuse it and that was

snowden as werd know him. at this point in the life of the intelligence community, did there need to be an edward snowden to expose what is going on in the diligence community -- intelligence community? >> there is a contradiction between being right and legally designed. the edward snowden in interview he gave to brian williams, which i think all of you should try to see if you have not, made it clear you can be right but that does not mean what you are doing is legal. i think snowden knows full well he violated laws. but he also knows what happens to someone like, straight -- thomas drake who was a whistleblower and accused under the espionage act who could have but thes life in prison judge through the evidence out and said this is not the soviet union and you cannot conduct yourself this way in my court. the sad thing about the snowden cases he is safer in russia than in the united states. that is an indictment of us. i think what he has revealed to us is something we needed to know. in some ways, it shoul

that's a problem, snowden says. security analysts agree. >> the costs and risk come in all sorts of forms. it may be that we respond and attack the wrong person or we respond and attack the wrong country and that causes an international event. >> reporter: then there are the constitutional concerns. for monster mind to spot malicious attacks it would have to constantly analyze all the traffic on the internet. snowden tells wired that means violating the fourth amendment seizing private communications without a warrant without probable cause or even suspicion of wrongdoing for everyone all the time. finally, there's the simple

mainly, i'm a pain in the but to make sure that he's is working on snowden.ndhrow big stories at him give him big assignments. himould be too easy to tell to chill out for a year while it plays out that i would not be good for him or the paper. mainly, we make sure to throw assignments at him and that they get good play. that's been helpful to him. iandean, i want steve and br to jump in. when you have a reporter asked by the government to give up sources, what is at stake for our entire industry? first off, the answer to any self-respecting news organization is a strenuous "no." what is at stake is not only that particular story but our very relationship with the relationshipd our with the government should be adversarial. i guess that some old way of thinking but it really should be. in society is to ask hard questions and tried to find out things government does not want us to find out. of moment you get the names your sources to government, you wipe out one of the primary missions of the press which is to find out things you don't want to find out. one ex

so i think that snowden exposed a lot of what the n.s.a. was doing in secret and the fact that both houses of congress are debating serious reforms based on these revelations show that it was legitimate whistleblowing and that we needed to know a lot of the things he did i focus a lot more on the documents than the person and the documents are important to be made public the stories have been extraordinarily revealing and important. first now when i think of the n.s.a. surveillance this year i think of the n.s.a. as more piggybacking off of private sector companies collection of data rather than actually collecting data itself now you call it a public private surveillance partnership there so how much of what the n.s.a. does is about using american companies database for the n.s.a.'s own purposes. the n.s.a. does both they certainly do a lot of collecting of data. through stu subterfuge by tapping undersea cables by going into hostile countries and collecting microwave links but they also get a lot through alliances both the n.s.a. in the u

. >>> edward snowden can stay in russia for three more years, his residency permit had been extendedexpired last week a more than a year after he fled the u.s. >> reporter: there is certainly going to be many people in the united states government who will feel that president putin is trying to thumb his nose at the united states by granting edward snowden this three-year residency permit. and it is true that snowden is a useful tool that the russian government can use in its fractured relationship with the united states. it's interesting, though, that russian government let edward snowden's temporary asylum, one-year asylum expire before granting him this residency permit. his asylum expired a week ago, so it seems that the russian government doesn't want edward snowden to feel actually too comfortable here either. now, there is another development also in the relationship between russia and the west. russia announced today that it is going to embargo a long list of food stuffs that are exported in to russia from the united states, from the european union, from canada, norway and, a

revelations by it was snowden and on the other hand enable discussion of attacks that the user cannot suspect and against the user cannot do anything. do stay with us here and they still to come it's not financial gun slinger. he's taking international frauds this to task this time in the latest report. during a press briefing president barack obama said something very unusual and used a certain term you'll almost never hear from a government bureaucrat he told the audience that in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we america did some things that were wrong we did a whole lot of things that were right but we tortured some folks here it is a rare thing to hear someone in the white house admit to torturing people after nine eleven but the question is why did he say this now please allow me to suspect first obama is the teleprompter master since he loves to read off a screen i doubt this was some sort of slip up this was probably done consciously but why well it always helps if you look good by condemning the moral failings of previous presidents liberals and democrats love to hate

this time it's not edward snowden. an article on the website intercept sites government documents dated after snowden went into exile in russia. these newer documents detail an explosive growth in databases that track terror suspects. the u.s. is pursuing the source of that leak. this is another story we'll follow a little more in depth later on in the show. >>> i want to show you some drama playing out on a nevada highway. the rain, so much of it which we'll show you, it turned -- there was a lot of flooding, swept some cars away. as of now i think you'll have to take my word for it. >> look out! get out! get out! get out! get out! >> a group of airmen pulled that women out as another car swept toward her. one of the men who was doing the rescuing had to be rescued himself. the amazing thing here is that no one was hurt. >> people think i can go through, it's not that deep, but the force of that water is nothing to be reckoned with. it's such a shock to see that near las vegas which is known to be dry. i want to show

. >>> there is word tonight of another national security leak possibly inspired by edward snowden. investigative reporter glenn greenwald hinted at his or her existence. so how concern ready government officials about this new leaker of any information that he or she may have had access to? >> anderson, they're very concerned. the issue here is obviously we've only seen one document or a couple documents that were published today by the intercept on greenwald's website. the person who leaked this document obviously had access to a pentagon computer system, which is the same computer system that chelsea manning, bradley manning had access to. that as you remember caused the leak of hundreds of thousands of classified documents which the u.s. says caused a lot of damage to national security. so far we don't know how serious the damage is. they're obviously very concerned, anderson. >> didn't the government improve security after snowden? do we know how this happened

whenever i think of watergate i also think of snowden and his revelations. i was wondering if you would comment on -- i realize he's not a reporter. comment on what has happened in government, what do we expect and why are some of us not shocked that something like that has happened? >> one, you are not shocked because we have known it has been reported for years that an awful lot of this has been going on. >> it came out in 2006. >> there's been too much shock. and a lot of things taken out of context over this whole debate about is he a hero or is he a traitor or all or else. it seems what we have -- terrorism has changed our world. it is a real threat, and to pretend otherwise is nonsense. it's the new method of warfare. it affects us all. so obviously, we're going to use as we have in the past these capabilities that we have because it's the most basic tool of learning -- of getting intelligence. signals intelligence, human intelligence. this is the signals part. we're going to do everything we can. what we have learned is that -- bill sapphire, many yea
