that went up some 8 hours ago at the Washington Post website - in fact I am surprised not to see something at the top of the Rec list.
The piece is titled Edward Snowden, after months of NSA revelations, says his mission’s accomplished and it is the result of the Post reporter interviewing Snowden in Moscow.
The "tease" quote - on Twitter and elsewhere - has been  this line: For me, in terms of personal satisfaction, the mission’s already accomplished.  Let's put those wordsin a slightly more complete context:
“For me, in terms of personal satisfaction, the mission’s already accomplished,” he said. “I already won. As soon as the journalists were able to work, everything that I had been trying to do was validated. Because, remember, I didn’t want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself.”
“All I wanted was for the public to be able to have a say in how they are governed,” he said. “That is a milestone we left a long time ago. Right now, all we are looking at are stretch goals.”
This is a must-read.  It gives a more complete portrayal of Snowden by allowing him to speak for himself.  It also gives the lie to some of what the Intelligence community has said about him.
