Former U.S. spy Edward Snowden on Wednesday vowed to fight any bid to extradite him from Hong Kong and promised "explosive" new revelations about Washington's surveillance targets, The South China Morning Post reported.
Specifically, Snowden reportedly showed the newspaper "unverified documents" describing an extensive U.S. campaign to obtain information from computers in Hong Kong and mainland China.
"We hack network backbones, like huge Internet routers, basically, that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers without having to hack every single one," he told the newspaper.
Officials have confirmed that Snowden may have more secret material.
"Apparently he's got a thumb drive," Sen. Saxby Chambliss, a Republican from Georgia, said Tuesday. "He's already exposed part of it and I guess he's going to expose the rest of it."
National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander told the Senate Intelligence Committee that "he doesn't know where Snowden is now," Chambliss said.
And the British paper The Guardian reported it believed Snowden had moved to a "safer" hotel in Hong Kong, the city to which he fled in preparation for the bombshell data dump.
"I'm neither traitor nor hero. I'm an American," Snowden said in the exclusive interview, released two days after he checked out of the city hotel and went to ground.
Supporters of the former NSA subcontractor are lauding him as a whistleblower for divulging NSA monitoring of private users' web traffic and phone records, in a worldwide trawl that the White House says was needed to keep Americans safe from terror.

Everything's made in China, that has nothing to do with Obama wanting Cisco's help with snooping on his political enemies.
No one should take anything at face value at this point.

True. But don’t forget the lessons from Occam either.
there’s no reason for this to be about Snowden at all. He’s not the issue (yet) and may never be. What he’s done, that most of us have seen on video, was neither heroic nor treasonous. It was however, a solidly moral act. If he sells or gives sensitive information to the Communist Chinese, I’ll gladly buy the rope to hang him with; but so far I haven’t seen any evidence that this is likely to happen. All this petty bickering about Snowden only serves to distract the idiots from the underlying and more important issue of the governments treason against us.
I think you made an interesting point which I should have state upfront.
Yep there it is.
Defending the Constitution is a very different thing from aiding the enemy. Any bets on whether this Quisling is a fan of Bwadley Manning?
Hasta La Vista Comrade Snowden. FU and the Contractual Pecuniary Prosti-Jackwagon you rode in on.
I dont mind the Hacking of our enemies,its American citizens that concerns me,this guy has his Priorities wrong,he wont have sympathy from the American Public if he is more concerned with Communists.
As for Data Mining,that works,its been proven.
Go to BING,enter Curt Weldon,Data Mining,good articles on who and When this was begun,lots of good info,with a lot of memory joggers
That’s why I want to pull some hackers out of jail, commute their sentences, and put them to work doing it. They know how to do it in a way our government never will.
