Publicerad den 27 jun 2013

While the cat-and-mouse game over Edward Snowden continues, there've been yet more revelations on the US snooping programme. The NSA has been collecting huge amounts of email data for more than two years during the Obama administration, and is actually still mining the US internet.

That's according to the british daily, the Guardian, which was referring to some secret documents. Rick Falkvinge, the founder of the Swedish Pirate Party gives more on the issue.

Snowden makes his first statement from Moscow

Publicerad den 1 jul 2013

The anti-secrecy website Wikileaks has now released a letter that was allegedly written by Edward Snowden. It says: "The Obama administration has now adopted the strategy of using citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a stateless person.

Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum." Meanwhile, earlier today, we found out that an anonymous Russian official told the LA Times that Snowden has now filed for asylum in no fewer than 15 countries.

For reaction on the letter and the latest from the Snowden saga, RT Political Commentator Sam Sacks and Abby Martin, the host of Breaking the Set, join us.
