WASHINGTON Nike Air Force 1 Blanche Homme Pas Cher , Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor who disclosed the agency's secrets and forced the U.S. government to revaluate its surveillance policies, has said his mission is accomplished.


"For me, in terms of personal satisfaction, the mission's already accomplished," Snowden told the Washington Post in his first in-person interview published online Tuesday since his June arrival in Russia, which granted him a one-year temporary asylum.


"I already won. As soon as the journalists were able to work Nike Air Force 1 Jaune Femme Pas Cher , everything that I had been trying to do was validated," said Snowden, whose revelations showed secret legal authorities empowered the NSA to sweep in the telephone, Internet and location records of whole populations.


"Because, remember, I didn't want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself," Snowden said.


"All I want was for the public to be able to have a say in how they are governed Nike Air Force 1 Rouge Femme Pas Cher ," he said. "That is a milestone we left a long time ago. Right now, all we are looking at are stretch goals."


At his year-end news conference held Friday, U.S. President Barack Obama defended the NSA's domestic spying programs while promising some reforms in the upcoming new year.


Obama said he would review the reform recommendations by a presidential advisory panel during his holiday break starting Friday, and would make a "pretty definitive statement" in January about some reforms.


Obama's comments came in a week in which a federal judge declared the NSA's collection program probably was unconstitutional.


Snowden was interviewed in Moscow by Barton Gellman, a Post reporter who has received leaks from the former NSA contractor. Snowden's first revelations were initially published by the Post and the Guardian of Britain in June.


"He was relaxed and animated over two days of nearly unbroken conversation, fueled by burgers, pasta Nike Air Force 1 Noir Femme Pas Cher , ice cream and Russian pastry," Gellman said of Snowden.


Snowden, 30, has been charged with espionage, theft and unauthorized communication of national defense and intelligence information.


He said people who accuse him of disloyalty mistake his purpose. "I am not trying to bring down the NSA, I am working to improve the NSA. I am still working for the NSA right now. They are the only ones who don't realize it."


Snowden's revelations have outraged not only Americans and technical companies but also U.S. allies, angered by documents showing that the United States was monitoring their leaders' cellphone calls and other virtual communications.

MOSCOW, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- It might be the snowiest winter for Edward Snowden.


Facing "unchanged" espionage charges back in his home country, Snowden, who was stranded in the transit zone of a Moscow airport for nearly six weeks before receiving temporary asylum, almost broke trust between the United States and its European allies like Germany.
