"Edward Snowden was interviewed for German television in late January. The interview took place in Russia, and while most western media outlets seem to be showing a 15-minute version, full 30-minute versions are available from LiveLeak and the Internet Archive.
The transcript is available from the broadcaster (NDR)."

The most damning bits in my opinion are the extent of German security services' involvement with the Five Eyes' spying programs, the extent and duration of spying on chancellors and other world leaders, and industrial espionage. Interesting, but not new if you've been keeping up with the leaks. Firms like Booz Allen Hamilton are for-profit companies directly benefiting from the security state, and that they take our tax dollars and throw them right back at congress to get even more of what they want is a disturbing cycle which must be broken.
I'm wringing my grubby hands in anticipation of more document leaks about industrial espionage, and who exactly benefits from it. Also, good job on the site. I'm happy to be here.
