NSA leaker denies being a spy
Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden says he decided to expose America's secret surveillance of U.S. citizens because the Obama Administration "closed the door on investigating systemic violations of law."
According to the Guardian newspaper, Snowden answered questions in an online chat today and told reporters he had to get out of the U.S. and that the "government is not going to be able to cover this up by jailing or murdering me."
