US intelligence chief: Snowden and ‘accomplices’ should return stolen info

The most powerful intelligence official in the United States told a Senate committee Wednesday that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden is a hypocrite and that he and his supposed accomplices should return any classified documents he still has.
Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. said in an unusually contentious Senate Intelligence Committee hearing that Snowden’s decision to leak a trove of classified NSA documents to the press has hurt US security and tipped off suspected terrorists on potentially safer ways to communicate. Clapper, who told the same committee the NSA did not collect information on millions of Americans months before being proven wrong, also insinuated that Snowden had help.
“Snowden claims that he has won and that his mission is accomplished,” Clapper said during his opening remarks to the committee, as quoted by a transcript published by the Washington Post. “If that is so, I call on him and accomplices to facilitate the return of the remaining stolen documents that have not yet been exposed to prevent even more damage to US security.”
The director did not elaborate on what he meant by “accomplices,” but a spokesman insisted he was “referring to anyone who is assisting Edward Snowden to further threaten our national security through the unauthorized disclosure of stolen documents related to lawful foreign intelligence collection programs.”
A number of journalists on Twitter interpreted that as a threat to Glenn Greenwald, Barton Gellman, Laura Poitras, and the number of other reporters who have published information based on the Snowden documents.

mimi labda wakuu mnijuze, kwani bado sijaelewa hasa shida ya snowden kwenye ishu ya udukuzi, kwani sijajua anawezaje mtu kulisaliti taifa lake na kulifanya uchi mbele ya dunia wakiwemo maadui wa marekani, hivi shida yake ni nini sasa. i think he went too far in this issue. mpaka nahisi jamaa atakuwa amezulumiwa kitu ambacho hajakiweka hadharani. yaani sio tu maneno ya juu juu anayoyasema

Russia mlindeni SnowDen,

I can smell a fish!!!!!!

2013 snowden katumiwa na maadui wa uongozi uliopo wa NSA,maintelijensia wamarekani wenyewe wanapambana

Pia nakubaliana na wewe kuna makubaliano au kuna kitu agency ilimfanyia ambacho ameshindwa kukivumilia,though ni revenge ya kijinga ila kwa umri wake yaweza kuwa sawa

Kutoa siri za taifa lako ni ujinga, sio tu wahusika ndio watakaoumia, ikienda vibaya taifa halitakua secured kabisa terrorist wanaweza tumia nafasi hiyo pia na kuua raia wasio na hatia. Jamaa alifika mbali kwa kweli, kuna vingine alikua right ila vingine alipitiliza, afu unavosema nchi isi-monitor kabisa mawasiliano ya watu, mbona unarahisishia terrorist activities, sawa wale terrorists professional kabisa watatumia encycryption na njia za kikuda wasipatikane, ila hata wadogo wadogo wajinga wanaojilipuau nao wasidakwe?? The guy went too far

USA..the mother of revenge!
Huyu kijana anafanya niamini kuna kazi sio za kupewa sisi vijana,kazi nyeti kama hizo! Ona sasa anachofanya,kashaweka maisha yake hatarini
Marekani wana uwezo wa kumuondoa kwa sumu huyu hata akiishi chumbani kwa Putin!
Wape muda Marekani uone wanavyorevenge!

Angalieni homeland ndio mtaujua huu mchezo wa snowden na Taifa lake...huyo jamaa ni pandikizi wa USA ndani ya Russia tu

Give thanks to Edward Swonden his decision to betray his country has made the world to understand what were going on behind the scene in the buildings of NSA. Now the world has understood that the issue of privacy is actually being undermined in a large extent, individuals have no control of their private stuffs....THANKS SWONDEN YOU HAVE MADE ME TO BELIEVE WHAT I RED IN THE BOOK The Confession of an Economic Hit Man.
