EDWARD SNOWDEN QUOTES

"I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things [surveillance on its citizens]... I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded."

"I wonder, how well would envelopes that became transparent under magical federal candlelight have sold in 1750? 1800? 1850? 1900? 1950?"

"I'm neither traitor nor hero. I'm an American."

"This country is worth dying for."

"I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong."

"My sole intention is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them."

"No intelligence service - not even our own - has the capacity to compromise the secrets I continue to protect. While it has not been reported in the media, one of my specializations was to teach our people at DIA how to keep such information from being compromised even in the highest threat counter-intelligence environments (i.e. China). I cannot be coerced into revealing that information, even under torture."

Former CIA agent and NSA insider Edward Snowden

SUPPORT FOR EDWARD SNOWDEN

"When history looks at this they are going to contrast the behavior of James Clapper, our National Intelligence Director, with Edward Snowden. Mr. Clapper lied in Congress in defiance of the law, in the name of security. Mr. Snowden told the truth in the name of privacy."
United States Senator Rand Paul (R - Kentucky)

"You have done the right thing in exposing what I regard as massive violation of the United States Constitution. Having served in the United States Senate for twelve years as a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, the Armed Services Committee and the Judiciary Committee, I think I have a good grounding to reach my conclusion."

Former United States Senator Gordon J. Humphrey (R - New Hampshire)

"The invasion of human rights and American privacy has gone too far. America does not have a functioning democracy at this point in time."

Former United States President Jimmy Carter

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil
is that good men do nothing."
