Who is Edward Snowden?: A 29-year-old government contractor has been charged with espionage for recent leaks of classified intelligence.
The ability of contractor-turned-fugitive Edward Snowden to evade
arrest is raising new concerns among U.S. officials about the security
of top-secret documents he is believed to have in his possession — and
about the possibility that he could willingly share them with those who
assist his escape.
It’s unclear whether officials in Hong Kong or in Russia, where
Snowden fled over the weekend, obtained any of the classified material.
A spokesman for the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, which has been
assisting the former National Security Agency contractor, strenuously
denied reports that foreign governments had made copies of the
documents.
