The CIS Administrator who blew the whistle |
|
|
|
Edward Snowden used to be stationed in Hawaii, working as a CIS Administrator for the US intelligence agency NSA, up until he grappled with a crisis of conscience which made him quit his job and blow the whistle on the ever increasing erosion of privacy rights of private citizens as regards the monitoring of internet browsing and telecommunications.
In May of 2013, Snowden boarded a flight bound for Hong Kong. Thus began an exile in countries with no extradition treaty with the United States from which Snowden could freely speak his mind. In June of 2013, the public figure of Edward Snowden was born after several journalists such as Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, Barton Gellman and Ewen MacAskill published certain classified documents that Snowden revealed to them. Since being on the radar, Snowden has been living in an undisclosed location in Russia.
