Glenn Greenwald
HONG KONG — The journalist who exposed classified US
surveillance programs leaked by an American defense contractor said Tuesday
that there will be more “significant revelations” to come from the documents.
“We are going to have a lot more significant revelations
that have not yet been heard over the next several weeks and months,” said
Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian.
Greenwald told The AP the decision was being
made on when to release the next story based on the information provided by
Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old employee of government contractor Booz Allen
Hamilton who has been accused by US Senate intelligence chairwoman Senator
Dianne Feinstein of California of committing an “act of treason” that should be
prosecuted.
Greenwald’s reports last week exposed widespread US
government programs to collect telephone and Internet records.
“There are dozens of stories generated by the documents he
provided, and we intend to pursue every last one of them,” Greenwald said.
Snowden’s whereabouts were not immediately known on Tuesday,
although he was believed to be staying somewhere in Hong Kong.
No charges have been brought and no warrant has been issued
for the arrest of Snowden.
