Edward Snowden: I Was Trained as a Spy

459251245

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, wanted by the U.S. on espionage charges, now claims on camera for the first time that he was trained as a spy by the U.S. itself — specifically, the CIA

"I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional sense of the word," Snowden told NBC News anchor Brian Williams, "in that I lived and worked undercover, overseas, pretending to work in a job that I'm not, and even being assigned a name that was not mine."

He said he'd done this work at "all levels," as an agent on the ground and "all the way to the top," for the CIA, the NSA and Defense Intelligence
