Snowden willing to accept asylum in Brazil
Print Edition
US leaker Edward Snowden said in a TV interview he would accept asylum in Brazil if offered, but not if it were in exchange for information about US intelligence.
Snowden, in an interview broadcast late on Sunday on the news show “Fantastico” on Globo TV network, also criticized the panel now reviewing US intelligence gathering. He said it was hand-picked by the White House and the changes it called for were cosmetic.
Nevertheless he acknowledged the panel represented an important first step in reining in the massive US surveillance programs.
The interview was conducted via email through an attorney in New York, and Snowden’s answers were broadcast in Portuguese.
The US panel recommended curbing the powers of the National Security Agency, warning its sweeps in the war on terror have gone too far.
