Un employé de 29 ans d’un sous-traitant américain de la défense est la source qui a révélé au Guardian des informations confidentielles sur les programmes de surveillance des communications menés par les Etats-Unis, a annoncé le quotidien britannique dimanche 9 juin.
« Je n’ai aucune intention de me cacher parce que je sais que je n’ai rien fait de mal », a déclaré Edward Snowden dans un entretien publié sur le site internet du journal. Le Guardian explique que c’est Edward Snowden lui-même qui a demandé de révéler son identité.

Two British dissenters had used the pseudonym. Clement Walker, a 17th-century detractor of Parliament, died in the brutal confines of the Tower of London. Two centuries later, social critic Henry Dunckley adopted “Verax” as his byline over weekly columns in the Manchester Examiner. He was showered with testimonials and an honorary degree.
