Edward Snowden Quote: “For me, in terms of personal…”

For me, in terms of personal satisfaction, the mission’s already accomplished. I already won. As soon as the journalists were able to work, everything that I had been trying to do was validated. Because, remember, I didn’t want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself.

October 6, 2021 1983, American, Edward Snowden, June 21, Quotes by Activists

Edward Snowden Quote: “Most of the secrets the CIA…”

Most of the secrets the CIA has are about people, not machines and systems, so I didn’t feel comfortable with disclosures that I thought could endanger anyone.

Edward Snowden Quote: “If I had to describe myself…”

Edward Snowden Quote: “No one would argue that it’s…”

No one would argue that it’s in the United States’ interest to have independent knowledge of the plans and intentions of foreign countries.
