The Guardian has published an op-ed by Edward Snowden elaborating on his reason for questioning Vladimir Putin on Russia's surveillance policies. To critics who claim Putin had co-opted Snowden for his own political goals, he points out that you can't call someone to account for lying to the public unless they are first on the record lying to the public.

The Guardian also makes available a copy of the video and documents Russia's use of SORM to perform surveillance during the Sochi Winter Olympics.

    And so Snowden shows his true mettle. Once again risking his relative freedom to poke in the eye the autocrat who granted him temporarily asylum. Insisting that principles are more important. Balls. Of. Steel.
