When Is Honesty Not the Best Policy?

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."

  

Dude.

I can make an argument in Snowden’s favor if you believe this is the type of thing that needs to be done, considering what has become of our country, but I certainly hope he’s gotten himself into a very certain asylum in whatever country he’s in now, because that will absolutely hang him in an American court these days.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
