Edward Snowden Took the Job at Booz Allen Just to Collect (and Then Release) US Government Secrets
by Orin Kerr on June 24, 2013 6:30 pm
The South China Morning Post reports:
Edward
Snowden secured a job with a US government contractor for one reason
alone – to obtain evidence of Washington’s cyberspying networks, the South
China Morning Post can reveal.
For the first time, Snowden has admitted he sought a
position at Booz Allen Hamilton so he could collect proof about the US National
Security Agency’s secret surveillance programmes ahead of planned leaks to the
media.
“My position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to lists of
machines all over the world the NSA hacked,” he told the Post on June 12. “That
is why I accepted that position about three months ago.”
. . .
Asked if he specifically went to Booz Allen Hamilton to
gather evidence of surveillance, he replied: “Correct on Booz.”
The documents he divulged to the Post were obtained at
Booz Allen Hamilton in April, he said. He intends to leak more of those
documents later.
“If I have time to go through this information, I would
like to make it available to journalists in each country to make their own
assessment, independent of my bias, as to whether or not the knowledge of US
network operations against their people should be published.”
There has been speculation on this motive before, but it seems noteworthy that Snowden himself concedes it.
