Channel 4: Mr Snowden, on the run from US authorities for leaking details of National Security Agency “spying” programmes, in an advance excerpt of his interview with America’s NBC, rejected claims by critics that he was a “low level analyst” at the NSA.
“Well, it’s no secret that the US tends to get more and better intelligence out of computers nowadays than they do out of people,” Mr Snowden told NBC news anchor Brian Williams.
